The album reached number 32 on the Billboard 200[3] and the single "I Can Survive" hit number 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980.[4] The single "I Live for the Weekend", though not a success in the band's home country, gave them their only charting single in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 59.[5] The album was re-released in 1985 on MCA Records, then on TRC Records in 1995, and remastered in 2005 and re-issued on the band's own label TML Entertainment (formerly known as TRC Records).
