Released in the United Kingdom through EMI on 24 February 1997, it peaked at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and spent 17 weeks in the top 40.

Peter Fawthorp of AllMusic said the following about the album; "It is amazing to think of all the education that could be learned if boy bands from around the world added some cultural flavor to their music.

Instead of Irish tin whistles and accordions and Scottish bagpipes, we get the common denominator of '80s American/Euro synthesized pop music, albeit lifted by '90s production quality and slight traces of accents.

A pound of pretzels couldn't drown the taste of sugar that fizzes from The Journey, and while there is nothing original or spectacular to be found, the group deserves credit for packaging the album with as much glee as humanly possible.

And if you mistake their version of "Rhythm of the Night" for the original (by DeBarge) and feel the need to dance... well, no one's looking.
