The album has been certified gold in sales by the RIAA.
==Promotion and touring==
The album features Oleander's breakout lead single, "Why I'm Here," and "I Walk Alone." The latter had a music video while the lead single was featured on the popular TV series ''Dawson's Creek''. A cover of The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry" would serve as a UK single backed by a video in the summer of 2000. Directed by Cousin Mike, the video stars Bloodhound Gang leader Jimmy Pop who played a nerdy man living in an apartment. Oleander surrounds him as they loudly perform the song, forcing him to weep. Frontman Thomas Flowers explained that the song "really typifies and exemplifies everything that I'm already trying to say on the album."〔Gottlieb, Meridith (Oleander Taps Bloodhound Gang's Pop For Video ) MTV.com (June 12, 2000).

"Why I'm Here" appeared on ''Now, Vol. 3'' and ''Universal Smash Hits''. "I Walk Alone" landed on the ''Bravo Hits, Vol. 28'' and ''Shine!'' compilations, and ''Gravity Games 2000: Summer Sounds, Vol. 1'' featured "Where Were You Then?".
