The album spawned several hit singles like "Reach for the Sky", "Sleeping With You" and "When I Look Into Your Eyes". The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in the United States.^{[citation needed]}

The album is also infamously known for having the exact same snare sound as the one used on Dream Theater's album Images and Words, another album produced by David Prater around the same time. [6]
