The album's title track, "House of Hope," was included in the 1991 film Thelma and Louise, and appeared on the film's soundtrack album.
The album peaked at #115 on the Billboard charts.[4]
Critical reception
People called it "a record nearly bereft of the colorful melodies and joint-jolting rhythms that distinguished Childs’s first outing."[5] Trouser Press wrote that "the album raises more provocative questions than Union, but it misses that album’s celebratory quality."[6]
