Roy Orbison sang on "Leah". The CD version of the album includes Higgins's hit single Key Largo as a bonus track.

Critical reception

The Philadelphia Inquirer called Higgins "just about the most weepy, sentimental, insufferable singer-songwriter in existence," and ironically deemed the album, "in its own way, a demented masterpiece."[4]
