It was the band's final album. Geggy Tah supported it by playing shows with labelmate Shuggie Otis.

Production

Geggy Tah started work on the album in 1997; due to personal issues and label trouble, the album was delayed for four years. James Gadson played drums on three of the album's tracks. Laurie Anderson appears on "Aliens Somewhere," reading "a postcard from a strange cloud."

Critical reception

|rev1 = AllMusic |rev1score = |rev3 = The Philadelphia Inquirer |rev3score = |rev4 = The Press of Atlantic City |rev4score = |rev5 = The Tampa Tribune |rev5score = The Philadelphia Inquirer called the album a collection of "silky smooth and gorgeously appointed meditations on love." The Chattanooga Times Free Press noted that Into the Oh "employs contemplative, but odd lyrics, trippy melodies and unique instruments that create a surreal, multilayered effect."

The Toronto Sun praised "Holly Oak", likening it to a "nimble amalgam [that] sounds like nothing so much as Tim Buckley, or perhaps a very young Paul Simon, trying to play Steely Dan's 'Only a Fool Would Say That'." Steve Slosarek, of The Indianapolis Star, listed the album as the fifth best of 2001, praising the "soothing ... funk-jazz-experimental rock music." The Tampa Tribune concluded that the band "has largely dispensed with the power pop that peppered past efforts, and instead concentrates on creating dance grooves and throwing in odd instrumental choices."

The Orange County Register included Into the Oh on its list of the 10 best "overlooked" albums of 2001. The State considered it the 16th best album of 2001.
