Despite being released in 2013, due to Doyle's touring schedule in support of the album and use of social media sites, the album continues to sell and has sold just under 10,000[2] copies in the United States alone and has shipped 20,000 worldwide. Doyle continued to tour in March 2015 in support the album.
