The album has sold 4× platinum in Sweden[1] and contains Ulf Lundell's most famous song, "Öppna landskap" ("Open landscapes"), which meant his big break to a wider audience. The song was proposed to become Sweden's new national anthem and has been translated into a wide range of languages.

The album was reissued in 1998 in a remastered version with two extra tracks, a demo version of "Öppna landskap" and "Hårt regn".
