The album was produced by Kristin herself and mixed in Nashville by two-time Grammy winner Trina Shoemaker.

In early 2007 Hersh toured throughout Europe and the US to promote the album, first solo in a series of instore performances and then with her 50 Foot Wave bandmates Bernard Georges and Rob Ahlers as well as The McCarricks.

[2] Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 75 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 9 reviews.

[8] Shawn Badgley of The Austin Chronicle said the album "is the full Hersh experience, encompassing as it does all of her back-catalog iterations, from the knife-throwing thrills of the Throwing Muses' precise power pop to the cutting melancholia of her Hips and Makers-era balladry.

With help from Dave Narcizo on drums and Martin and Kimberlee McCarrick on cello and violin, Hersh handles everything else.
