The album spawned two singles: "Pretty, Pretty Once" and a cover of the Small Faces track "All or Nothing", the latter of which reached #53 on the UK Singles Chart. The track "Johnny Silvers" is about guitarist Johnny Thunders,[ citation needed ] who died a couple of years prior to its release. The Dogs D'Amour had previously supported him on tour.[ citation needed ]

After the release of this album, the band decided to pursue other artistic avenues. No further album with the Dogs D'Amour name on it would be released for another seven years.
