"Wherever You Are" was released as the album's lead single, however it failed to generate commercial success in the UK or Europe.[1] The second and final single, "Anchors Aweigh", reached No. 95 in the UK and remained in the charts for two weeks.[3] After the album failed to achieve major commercial success, Gold and Gouldman disbanded and moved on to separate projects.[4]

Reception

Upon release, Newcastle Evening Chronicle commented: "Gouldman and Gold team up again and get off to a fine start with the melodic yet rhythmic "Anchors Aweigh". Obviously a lot of thought and care has gone into this album, from composing to performing and producing."[5]
