Альбом ознаменовал значительные перемены в жизни и музыке Рода Стюарта, и прежде всего действительно "пересечение Атлантики" и переезд на ПМЖ в Америку, конкретно в Лос-Анджелес.

Доморощенное качество предыдущих его сольных работ затмило безупречное американское производство и отполированное до блеска звучание. Он быстро поднялся на 1-е место в британских чартах, держался на топе пять недель, а всего 88 и стал не только бестселлером года, но и десятилетия.
