Production

The album was recorded in Boulder, and mixed, in part, at Pinnacle Studios, in Orem, Utah.[6]

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "even four albums on, there’s still that Sting/Police thing: 'Dinosaur Bones' could have appeared on Synchronicity, while 'As Tears Fall' sounds like a slowed-down version of 'If You Love Somebody Set Them Free.'"[7]
