The band confirmed, via Myspace, that the album has been certified Platinum by the RIAA for sales of 1,000,000 copies surpassing their debut album and since then it has been certified double platinum. The fifth and last single, "Sorry", has become their highest charting single to date on the US Hot 100. After 98 weeks on the Billboard 200, the album became the first Buckcherry album to reach the top 40, peaking at 39. "Pump it Up", a Japanese edition bonus track, is used by the NHL's Edmonton Oilers as their introduction song.
