The album was released in South Africa on cassette and CD by One World Entertainment, an imprint of Tusk Music.

Mango Groove recorded music videos for three songs from the album: "Another Country", "Nice to See You", and "Tropical Rain".

[1][2] The album was the band's artistic contribution to South Africa's crossover period from the apartheid regime to a new government.

[3][4] The impression of Lucia Burger—a critic with Afrikaans newspaper Beeld at the time of the album's release—was that it drew the listener "away from the hurt and guilt to the dream, the promised South Africa.

[6][7] Stella Viljoen, an associate professor of visual studies at the University of Stellenbosch,[8] described the song as "a hopeful, yet reserved, anthem for the new South Africa's resurrection from the ashes of apartheid", that was "embraced by many in this spirit".

[9] In a 2017 interview, lead singer Claire Johnston said that "Another Country" was the only Mango Groove song that was "overtly political".

[11] Johnny Clegg and Savuka—another influential, multi-ethnic, anti-apartheid band—also released an album during South Africa's crossover period: Heat, Dust and Dreams (1993).

[2] For their 2016 album Faces to the Sun, Mango Groove re-recorded "Another Country" with a duet between Claire Johnston and Zolani Mahola.

The video for "Another Country" opens on a charcoal drawing animation by William Kentridge of a barren landscape dotted with horn loudspeakers of the sort used in public address systems.
