Lead single "Strike" was a minor hit in Canada, reaching #47 on the RPM charts. The second single, "Special Girl", was a top 20 hit on the Canadian Adult Contemporary charts. "Special Girl" became much better known in the U.S. for its near-simultaneous cover by the group America, whose version became a U.S. hit in September 1984. In the U.K., the song was a minor hit for Meat Loaf in early 1987.
