The album was not a commercial success and received mixed reviews. The album charted at number 62 in the UK albums chart;[2] the lead single "Free Huey" reached only number 54.[3] "Kingsize" was scheduled as a second single and was to be released before the end of 1998, promos were even pressed with b-sides, but the band's split derailed the release.[4]
