It is the third anthological album about the solo work of a member of The Police after Sting's Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting 1984–1994 (1994) and Andy Summers' The X Tracks (2004).

Allmusic in praise of the album wrote, Ranging across Copeland's various projects, (this) gives a comprehensive and compelling look into the musical sensibility of this much-heralded percussionist...Copeland's skill with melody and arrangement are striking, but it's his yen for exotic rhythms, and his unparalleled skill on the skins, that makes this set a winner.

It features mostly film music as well as three singles Copeland has released over the course of his career ("Too Kool to Kalypso" from his studio albums Klark Kent: Music Madness from the Kinetic Kid; "Don't Box Me In" from Rumble Fish; and "Koteya" from The Rythmathist).

A live version of "The Equalizer", originally released as a single form the album The Equalizer & Other Cliff Hangers is also included.

The album features two previously unreleased songs, "Look Up" (with vocals by Martina Topley-Bird) and "Slither".
