The group's musical accompaniment was directed by Ivor Raymonde and produced by John Franz and Nick Venet.

Receiving good to mixed reviews, the album was released in both Mono and Stereo LP formats in November 1965.

The sleeve notes were written by Brian Mulligan, the then press officer for Philips Records, with photography by Terence Donovan.

This alternate version shifted the running order around and replaced "Lonely Winds", "Girl I Lost in the Rain", "First Love Never Dies", and "Tell the Truth" with the singles "Love Her", "My Ship Is Coming In" and "Pretty Girls Everywhere", along with the last's B-side "Doin' the Jerk".

Richie Unterberger writing retrospectively for Allmusic described the US version Introducing the Walker Brothers as "an erratic affair" that features "their trademark balladeering groove with the hits "Make It Easy On Yourself" and "My Ship Is Comin' In," but [sounding] stiff on uptempo R&B numbers like "Land of 1,000 Dances" and "Dancing in the Street".
