Linda Ronstadt, of whose band Gold was a member at the time, appears on the album.

Rolling Stone's Stephen Holder said the album was "one of the year's most melodic" and "expresses, with warmth, humor and expertise, a special feeling for mid-Sixties rock."

Holder notes that Gold "recaptures the essential spirit of 1964-65 Beatles music" and that his "ballads are as captivating as his rockers, if not more so.

Noting "[t]here are great Beatlesque melodies here, as well as heartfelt love songs that are Gold's specialties.

The single "That's Why I Love You" spent 5 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 beginning in January 1976, ultimately peaking at #68.
