At the time of the album's release in late 1990, Gibson was 20 years old and the late-1980s teen pop wave was near its end. The album was Gibson's first to not reach the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, peaking at #41 in the United States. It sold many fewer copies than her previous two albums, Out of the Blue and Electric Youth, both of which had gone multi-platinum.
The album was still a minor success for Gibson and eventually was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[2] In Japan, the album became Gibson's second most successful, reaching #5 and achieving Gold status. The album was released in March 1991 in the United Kingdom but stalled at #69.
The album's title single reached the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
