It was released (with a few other later songs added) in a remixed version 1978 under the title And The Music Plays On, then released under its original name, with the original intended cover, and original track list (except for added bonus tracks) in 2006.
Bear Family included also the album in the 2004 Home and Away box set.[2] Edsel Records included the album in the 2023 Stranger in Town: A Del Shannon Compendium box set.[3]
Jason Ankeny of AllMusic's gave the album a postive reviews, saying "Shannon's otherworldly vocals achieve a new maturity and poignancy here, substituting their traditional romantic longing with the desperation of an artist struggling to remain relevant and vibrant in a brave new world."[4]
