The album sold relatively poorly despite promotional efforts and many of the reviews for the album were poor as well. The title track reuses the music from "Big Fun", from the album ''Exodus''. The album is currently the last from the New Power Generation, as their own entity.


The album is noted by fans for a few key tracks such as "The One", "[[Come On (The New Power Generation song)|Come On]]" (featuring vocals by [[Chaka Khan]]) and the bonus hidden track "Wasted Kisses".
