The album peaked at #65 on the Billboard 200. None of its singles charted. As a result, the group departed Polydor, which led to a breach of contract lawsuit from the company that was later settled in the band's favor.
It is the first album to be released without the bands core lineup of Ronnie Hammond (vocals), J. R. Cobb (guitar), Barry Bailey (guitar), Paul Goddard (bass), Dean Daughtry (keys) and Robert Nix (drums).
