According to the RIAA, the album has gone double platinum selling over 2 million copies in US and peaked at #20 on the Billboard 200 chart [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.chartFormatGroupName=Albums&model.vnuArtistId=36739&model.vnuAlbumId=906545] .

It produced the hit singles "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait" (this track is widely known for being the theme song for the hit series "Dawson's Creek"). Paula's third single was, "Me". Though the song "Feelin' Love" was never released as a single, it did become one of the albums most popular songs. This song was included on the multiplatinum selling soundtrack "".

According to the booklet, the album is dedicated to "the inner fire of all life. May our seeds of light open, brighten, and sow peace on earth".
