The album peaked at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart.[3]

Production

Recorded in California, the album was produced by George Drakoulias.[4]

Critical reception

The Guardian deemed the album "a characteristic mixture of bluesy riffs and shrieking, with passages of quasi-metal played off against nearly-ballads with acoustic guitars for added 'sensitivity'."[5] The Sun Herald thought that "Drakoulias's production is workmanlike but it's a frill-free style that sits comfortably with the band's meat 'n' potatoes arrangements."[6]
