"Talk" was a mild commercial success upon its release, reaching No. 20 in the UK and No. 33 in the U.S, but received a poor reception from music critics. "The Calling" and "Walls" were released as singles that charted at No. 3 and 24 on the U.S. Hot Mainstream Rock chart, respectively. The album was supported by a 1994 tour that covered North and South America and Japan. At its conclusion, Rabin and Kaye left the band in 1995. Victory Music founder Phil Carson praised the album but thought it was made "at the wrong time".
