Four singles were released from the album, including Branigan's cover version of Raf's "Self Control", which was a commercial success, peaking at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topping the charts in Canada and several European countries.

Several of the songs were translated from French into English, and have the continental flair that characterized Branigan's top 10 hits "Gloria" and "Solitaire."

"[6] Allmusic noted that "Laura Branigan's third album capitalized on the Euro-dance-pop and affecting ballads that made her an international star while allowing her to grow as a vocalist.

The title track, about finding sex in the seamy side of town, sparked a bit of a controversy, but ended up being her second biggest hit.

She even pulls off a graceful cover of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" that is clear and simple" [7] Credits adapted from the liner notes of Self Control.
