[citation needed] Warren Ham left AD after the end of the Art of the State Tour in 1985.

Michael Gleason, who has worked with Livgren and the others in the past, replaces Ham on lead vocals on Reconstructions.

The band's official breakup was never announced, as the group has dissipated from the inability to keep up with the lack of support.

AllMusic gave the album a decent rating of three out of five, calling Reconstructions "A very strong record with excellent arrangements and excellent songwriting", yet recalling how many of the songs suffer in sound quality due to Kerry's inexperience as a strong worker in the field of sound engineering.

rock music magazine gave the band's release a good rating of four out of five.
