The album's only Billboard-charting single was "Over Your Shoulder" (#7 on Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and #16 on Hot Modern Rock Tracks).[3] "Each Little Mystery" was also released as a single, but did not chart.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Giti Khalsa discussed the band's progression throughout their catalog and explained their fourth album's style:

"We made American Standard when we were fresh out of college, and it represented that time. With RockCrown, it was very much a response to going from playing bars and fraternities to getting a record deal to selling a million records in a year. And Orange Ave. is a response to the last few years and us being a little further away than at the beginning and being able to look back and go, 'Okay, I get it now.'"[4]
