The album was one of their most successful releases, receiving Gold certification in the United States.[4]
The album contains several of the group's most popular hits, including the title cut and "No Sugar Tonight", which together reached number one in Canada and the US, and a remake of "No Time", a song the group previously recorded for Canned Wheat.
