"Man Overboard"—a bonus studio single recorded to promote its release—reached number two on "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album proved influential for future pop punk acts, including Man Overboard and All Time Low. In recent years, the album has seen sporadic availability on digital platforms.
