This album continued the move back to Heart's hard rock and folk rock roots. It peaked at number 94 on the US Billboard 200.

The album cover bears an image of the Mandelbrot set, rotated so the main cardioid is oriented the same way a heart would normally be, with the cusp at top. The album cover art is seen briefly in the 2005 film Elizabethtown, for which Nancy Wilson provided soundtrack music; at the time she was married to the film's director and screenwriter, Cameron Crowe.
