The album was fully written by Craven herself and features her biggest hit single and signature song, "Promise Me".
The album and its singles initially failed to reach the charts in the UK, however she did find some success around continental Europe in 1990 and toured there to support the release. Craven made her first UK tour in early 1991, which was successful. In April 1991, original lead single "Promise Me" was re-released and this time heavily promoted. Appearances on British TV led to exposure of the single and it eventually peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1991, becoming her biggest hit.
On the back of the success of the single, the album re-entered the charts (it had previously charted at #53 in March 1991), and peaked at #3 in the UK. It spent almost a whole year in the UK charts. Craven's appearance at the 1992 Brit Awards (where she won the Best Newcomer award), propelled the album back into the UK Top 10, at #7. The album eventually went double platinum in the UK and sold over 1.2 million copies worldwide.
Six tracks were released to promote the album. The first four singles, originally released in 1990, failed to chart. With the successful re-release of "Promise Me", previous singles were reissued as its follow-ups: "Holding On" (re-released in July 1991), and "Woman to Woman" (re-released in October 1991), both of which charted within the UK Top 40, at #32 and #40 respectively. Previously released single "Joey" was the only song not to get a re-release. Instead, a new single, "Memories", was released in December 1991 but missed the Top 40 and peaked at #68. In some countries of continental Europe, "You're Not the First" was also released as a single.
