[edit] Reviews
The album got a positive review from Billboard which called it "An intriguing and surprisingly mature effort for a debut release."[1]
[edit] Impact
While the album never officially charted on Billboard, tracks from Legend of Chin contributed to late 90's pop culture and were revitalized on subsequent Switchfoot projects. The song "You" (the answer to the questions posed in "Life and Love and Why") was featured on the soundtrack of A Walk to Remember, starring Mandy Moore. Switchfoot later released a 3-CD compilation entitled The Early Years: 1997-2000 which encompassed their first three albums, including Legend of Chin. "Concrete Girl" was included in their greatest hits collection, The Best Yet, and "Chem 6A" was included in the Deluxe Edition Bonus DVD of The Best Yet.
