Production

The album was produced and mixed by Gene Holder and Dave Fridmann.

Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that "there are some subtle advancements here, like the overall production style of knob-twister Dave Fridmann, who has isolated Wareham's languorous vocals more dramatically than on any previous release."
