Between the Sheets is the debut and only studio album by British girl group The 411. It was released by Sony Music on 22 November 2004 in the United Kingdom. Between the Sheets was supported by three successful singles, including "On My Knees" featuring Ghostface Killah, "Dumb" and "Teardrops". However, upon release the album failed to match the success of its singles. It charted outside of the UK top 40 and spent just three weeks on the chart, resulting in the group being dropped by Sony.
Kitty Empire from The Guardian found that "the 411's debut album offers up a further array of songs that are either too bland or not quite right. Third single "Teardrops" pivots on the same Lalo Schifrin riff that Portishead lifted, but as atmospheric as it is, it remains a secondhand idea. Between the Sheets isn't dreadful, but it sounds like an opportunity missed. With the Sugababes sick of the sight of each other, they could have cleaned up."[1] Dan Gennoe, writing for Yahoo! Music UK, called the album a "solid debut, with exceptional moments, [that] still makes them the UK’s most credible and interesting girl band – at least until the Sugababes return."[2]
