The song "Just a Wish" was later covered by Far Corporation, again with Scott Gorham on guitar.

Critical reception

Billboard magazine gave the album a positive review, singling out the "catchy leadoff track 'Knee Deep'" but conceding that the band "treads familiar turf lyrically and musically" and has little in common with Gorham's "venerable roots" in Thin Lizzy.[3]
