The album failed to chart. The title track was the band's final Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 39.
Despite failing to chart, the album was met with positive reviews. Billboard states that the album has a considerable middle of the road appeal. [1] Gary Graff describes its title track as a fine example of the group's distinctive sound. [2] Bad Cat states, despite Yost's pleasant voice with a middle of the road approach, his performances were deeper and rougher compared to his previous albums. [3]
