The album's first single, " Tonight It's You ", reached No. 8 on the Billboard's Top Rock Tracks chart and the video received heavy rotation on MTV.

The album's lone single, " It's Only Love " failed to chart, but many blame the album's poor success on the record label's lack of promotion.

Among the songs are the Dowd / Clapton-produced signature tune " It's in the Way That You Use It " ( co-written with Robbie Robertson, and featured in the Paul Newman-Tom Cruise film The Color of Money in October 1986, a month before the album's release, subsequently reaching # 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for one week ) and three Collins-produced numbers — the up-tempo, horn-laden " Run " and the guitar-laden rockers " Tearing Us Apart " ( with Tina Turner ) and " Miss You ".
