This album reached No. 1 in the ARIA charts in October, and yielded a No. 3 hit single with the Human Nature and John Farnham collaboration, "Every Time You Cry".[2]

In 1999, a VHS video cassette featuring the music film clips from this album was released with a limited pressing. This video was titled, Anthology 1 – The Videos.

In 2009, the CD was reissued on Sony's "Camden" budget label under the CD's original subtitle of Greatest Hits. This release does not credit Jimmy Barnes and Human Nature as featured artists for unknown reasons.
