The models for the cover artwork, illustrated by the noted fashion artist Antonio using makeup, were model Jerry Hall and actress Faye Dunaway,[4][5] who married lead singer Peter Wolf the following year.
Record World said of the single "Did You No Wrong" that "Geils takes off on some incredible guitar riffs and production from Szymczyk does no wrong."[6]
