The album entered the UK album chart at no.1 and has since sold over 1.2 million copies in the UK alone, being certified quadruple platinum. It was also a success in the U.S. where it was a top 30 hit and has sold in excess of 2 million copies there.
A special video album was also released at the same time, directed by Sophie Muller who had worked with Lennox during her years with Eurythmics. The video album featured promotional videos for nine of the album's eleven tracks (the video for the single "Little Bird" had not yet been made at this time, and no video was made for the album track "Stay By Me").
In 1993 the album was included in Q magazine's list of the "50 Best Albums Of 1992". Rolling Stone magazine (6/25/92, p.41) described the album as "...state-of-the-art soul pop..." and it is included in Rolling Stone's (5/13/99, p.56) "Essential Recordings of the 90's" list. Several songs from the album were released as singles with "Why", "Walking on Broken Glass" and "Little Bird" being the most successful.
The original vinyl release of the album only had ten tracks, and Keep Young and Beautiful was included on the CD release as a bonus track. Another bonus track, "Step by Step", appeared on the Mexican and Japanese editions of the album and was also included as the B-Side on the "Precious" single. The song was later recorded by Whitney Houston for the 1996 film soundtrack The Preacher's Wife and subsequently became a hit single.
