The album also marked the band's first release as a four-piece outfit, having added touring member Matt Douglas as a permanent fixture of the band following the By, For, and About the Trees Southeastern Fall Tour that supported their previous record, Beat the Champ. The album was critically acclaimed upon release. In the U.S., it peaked at number 89 on the Billboard 200.
