The album reached #5 in the US pop charts and #1 in the country charts (where it stayed for a total of 25 weeks). In the UK, it reached the top 10 on the pop charts. In 2007, the album was issued as a two album set on one CD, the other album included on the disc being the self-titled Kenny Rogers from 1976.
In the sleevenotes for the 2009 reissue on the Edsel record label, biographer Chris Bolton notes that this album "does its best to represent every musical personality of Kenny Rogers." Stephen Thomas Erlewine states that the album mixes music styles from Country to Disco.
This album has sold 22 million copies worldwide.
