reception

The album reached number 32 on the Billboard 200. Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for Allmusic that the production of Don Was was "stronger than the band's earlier material, Bret Michaels' voice was a bit rougher," but the album was "still a product of Poison recognizable. "Erlewine rates the individual songs differently and states that the album is" an unbalanced selection, but is more fun than other new Poison albums in the recent past. "
