The album was a commercial flop in the United States compared to the first three albums, making it the first Firehouse album not to enter the
Billboard charts. However, it did chart in Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, where the album was certified gold thanks to hit songs "You Are My Religion", "Love Don't Care" and "In Your Perfect World". A music video for "Love of a Lifetime" was shot entirely in Chao Praya River in Bangkok, Thailand.
It spawned a tour in Asia and the United States (playing at the smaller venues) to support the album.
It was the band's final album with the major label.
