Richard Gottehrer was among the album's many producers.

The New York Times wrote that, "instead of emphasizing individual quirks, the vocal arrangements on the new album favor a sweetly homogenized blend, and the instrumentation makes liberal use of drum machines and synthesizers." [12] The Orlando Sentinel deemed the album "a flashy brand of pop-rock—the kind with bouncy arrangements and polished production." [11]
