It was the first and only album with keyboardist Mark Westworth and drummer Andy Edwards, and the last with bassist John Jowitt. Nicholls wrote the lyrics, and Rob Aubrey engineered.

AllMusic's Alex Henderson gave it three and a half stars, calling it very moody yet also very accessible. At the Classic Rock Society Awards in 2010 it won Best Album.
