It contains the single "Shining Road," as well as the promotional singles "Beautiful Friend" and "Lilies."

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "'Shining Road' has an enchanting pop melody and rushing guitar pulse, 'Lilies' flirts with fragile funkiness and 'Paris and Rome' feels like a European music-box waltz. Using odd squeaking noises and distant whammy-bar twangs, 'Beautiful Friend' cunningly fashions an unusual ambient/western hybrid; the title track actually rocks."[4]
