During the process of recording the album, End of Fashion drummer Mike Hobbs left the band, as he didn't like the album's "studio pop band" approach. [3] Burford took on the drum parts. [3] Bass guitarist Tom King also left and was replaced by Simon Fasolo. [3]
Brisbane's now-defunct Rave magazine gave the album a positive review, writing, "for those raised on meat-and-potatoes Aussie melodic indie guitar rock, this could be considered a betrayal of Young Modern proportions. However, I'm hearing a re-energised band making some of the slinkiest pop of their career". [4] X-Press Magazine wrote, "admittedly, the album gets repetitive, but overall it makes for an enjoyable listen." [5]
