Crush re-established this reputation, with typical catchy choruses and anthemic, metal riffs. "It's My Life" was particularly ubiquitous in the United States and UK.
Approximate sales were in excess of two million copies, making the album double platinum in the USA and with sales over 9 million copies worldwide, it is Bon Jovi's sixth-best selling album.to date.
The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards.
