"Up All Night" (No. 27), "Fly to the Angels" (No. 19), and "Spend My Life" (No. 39) all charted in the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 and their videos were in solid rotations on the various music television outlets. "Mad About You" also received considerable airplay on Album Rock stations as the band toured to support the release. The LP was also nominated for a best metal album of the year at the 1991 American Music Awards show. Music videos were made for the singles "Up All Night", "Fly to the Angels", "Spend My Life", and "Mad About You".
