AllMusic said that the album was somewhat unfocused, a collection of various songs that were not so successful at what they were attempting. The album was described as primarily pop rock with a few hints of new wave influence.[1]
"Love at First Sight" was a duet between Cherie and her twin sister, Marie Currie. The song was released as a seven-inch single in Japan. For the flip-side, Cherie and Marie performed the same song in Japanese.
"Science Fiction Daze" was another Japanese single, backed with "The Only One".
