The album had a modestly different sound than the band's previous releases, somewhat due to the fact that long-time drummer (and original Tullycraft member) Jeff Fell, did not make an appearance on the album, but also because of the new approach the members of the band took to the recording process.

Equipped with lyrics and vocal melodies (provided by Tollefson) the band composed many of the new songs from the ground up in the studio.

A review by Rich Quinlan in Jersey Beat says "having been immersed in college radio in the mid-90s, I did become aware of the twee and cuddlecore movements," continuing "incredibly, more than twenty years later, this Seattle outfit continues to hang on to their collective innocence, blending the most pop-friendly tempos and sprinkling in lighthearted, sentimental lyrics that point out the most minute of details with good natured sarcasm.

[3] A limited-edition white vinyl version of the LP was released by Rough Trade Records in the UK (only 100 were pressed).
