The album was initially distributed digitally through online retailers without a physical format release in 2009. In the 2009 Georgia floods, Morris lost much of her musical equipment, Magnapop memorabilia, and the first Compact Disc pressing of Chase Park.[1] Atlanta musicians—including former Magnapop bandmate Tim Lee and Amy Ray—threw a benefit concert to assist her in replacing her losses on December 15, 2009.[2] On March 30, 2010, the album was put out on Compact Disc with an additional track: the Spiderbait cover "Jesus".

Muziekkrant OOR's positive review of the album called the music "unpretentious and disarming."[3]
