The material was the second pick as the songs considered strongest had been issued on Good Times. The title track, a cover of a 1965 hit by Chuck Berry, was issued as a single and hit number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK top ten. Another minor hit single was "If You Talk in Your Sleep". The album was not a great seller reaching number 47 in the US and top 50 position in the UK.
