Avant reunited with frequent collaborator Steve "Stone" Huff to work on the album, with additional production provided by Warryn Campbell. Upon its release, Private Room peaked at number four on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 18 on the US Billboard 200.[2] Its lead single "Read Your Mind" reached number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Allmusic3/5 stars[1]

Alex Henderson from AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five. He wrote that "the same issues that weighed down Avant's previous two albums, rendering them good if uneven releases, continue to run unchecked for Private Room [...] So, once again, there's a handful of excellent contemporary R&B songs surrounded by too much material that's either decent or middling."[1]
