Analyzing it decades later, music critic Martin Popoff said that the album was more "glam pop" than hard rock or glam rock.[1]
The song "Back to the Coast" was originally written by Rhoads and his brother Kelle when they were teenagers. It was originally called "West Coast Tryouts".
"Back to the Coast" was re-recorded by Kelle Rhoads for his 1985 Cheap Talkin' Romance EP, which features Kelly Garni on bass and Steve Sunnarborg, a student of Randy Rhoads and winner of the Randy Rhoads Memorial Scholarship at CSUN,[4] on guitar.
