AllMusic

The album's debut single was "Touch and Go" which peaked at number 60 on the Billboard charts on 19 July 1986. Cash Box called it a "thunderous, large scale rock drama."

The main synthesizer part of "Touch and Go" is based on the English folk tune "Lovely Joan". Another version of "Touch and Go" was recorded by Emerson, Lake & Palmer and is included in the box set The Return of the Manticore (1993).
