While some have criticized the album, decrying it as the low point of Bolton's career, many others have hailed it as one of the finest AOR-based/melodic hard rock releases from the '80s ("references" here are just a few examples). The album's hard rock/metal sound contrasts sharply with his later soft rock-based material that would make him a superstar (although the track "Desperate Heart" hinted at the more ballad-esque songs that would ultimately make him successful), and devout fans of his music in the latter style may react less favorably to this album.
The album was reissued on February 25, 2008 by Rock Candy Records, United Kingdom on CD with a 12-page full colour booklet with original and new artwork. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
