The album was a commercial success in Europe for Lennon, spawning a UK No. 6 hit "Saltwater" (as well as topping the charts in Australia for four weeks); however, it did not do as well in the US, where Atlantic Records were said to have under-promoted the album. [6]

The album was reissued, along with The Secret Value of Daydreaming and Mr. Jordan , on 8 September 2009 by Noble Rot Records. [7]
