Reception
[edit]Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic thought the album to be Candlebox's best and richest album, and that this is due to a combination of "the melodicism of post-grunge and bear the lightness and nimble chops that come with middle age."[2]
The album debuted at No. 82 on the Billboard 200,[3] and No. 25 on Top Rock Albums.[4] with around 5,000 copies sold in its first week. The album has sold 21,000 copies as of April 2016.[5]
