It was released March 25, 2003 by Double Zero Records, a label founded by former Smoking Popes drummer Mike Felumlee.

Following the Smoking Popes' breakup in 1998, Double Zero had released several albums of previously recorded Smoking Popes material including 1991–1998, Live, and The Party's Over.

Other notable contributors to the album include Bad Astronaut, Grade, and The Ataris.

Critic Tim Sendra of Allmusic remarked that a Smoking Popes tribute album seemed incredulous at first, since the band released only a few albums and did not have much mainstream success, but noted that "the Smoking Popes were influential in a small way.

No matter, the record is a well-chosen and played tribute to the music and career of the Smoking Popes and fans will no doubt be thrilled.
