The album peaked at No. 133 on the Billboard 200.[6]
Production
The album was produced by Chuck Plotkin. Chapin and his label were unhappy with the album, with Chapin going back to the studio to rerecord a few of the songs after the album had been released.[7]
Critical reception
Record Collector wrote that "musically, Harry occasionally steps out of his folk-friendly comfort zone, serving up some delicious blue-eyed soul on 'It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains'."[8]
