With this album, Richard made a "deep and serious thrust at establishing his mainstream pop/rock credentials" according to Bruce Eder of AllMusic. The album is made up of a mix of covers of rock 'n' roll standards and pop songs of the time, with what Eder describes as "brass and chorus-heavy arrangements".[3]
The album reached number 23 in the UK Album Charts in a 9 week run in the top 40.[4]
