People Magazine reviewed the album: "From the marvelous shadows-and-light pop of the title track to the Turkish-ish Black Halos to inventive reworkings of Chuck Berry’s Too Much Monkey Business and Jezebel, this comely comeback is smooth but packs a kick.^[3]

On July 21, 1992 Leon performed the Anything Can Happen song on the David Letterman Show live.^[4]
