The album solidified Exile's transition from a rock/pop band to a successful country pop act in the 1980s. The sound is characterized by polished production, combining country sensibilities with pop hooks and R&B influences. The album generated several chart-topping country hits and contributed to the band's recognition by the Country Music Association (CMA) during that era. A version of the song "Just in Case" was later a number one hit for The Forester Sisters in 1985.
