 Combining the international success of Timberlake's "FutureSex/LoveSounds" and Nelly Furtado's "Loose", demands for Timbaland's work reportedly surged.Writing for "Entertainment Weekly", Chris Willman remarked that "FutureSex/LoveSounds" is "like Timberlake's 'cred' record", although Chris Collis said Timbaland nearly stole the spotlight, sharing with Timberlake the "star" status.Aside from earning critical acclaim for the album, according to Sia Michel of "The New York Times", Timberlake was responsible for popularizing in 2006 the catchphrase "I'm bringing sexy back", which is culled from the lead single "SexyBack".
