The album was released at the beginning of the group's decline in the UK, and the lead single, "Dragonfly" failed to chart. This song was a departure for the group, with it not being produced by either of their regular producers, Ben Findon or Nicky Graham, but by Tim Friese-Greene, who was responsible for the recent success of Tight Fit. The album itself also fared less well than expected when it peaked at No.52.[2] It was also at this time that the group were back to being a five-piece, with the return of former member, Anne Nolan.[3]

This was the last Nolans album released by Epic Records, and their final single with them came the following year.
