The album gave Connick a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Male, and he performed the title track live on the Grammy telecast in 1991. "Recipe for Love" also became one of Connick's biggest hits, peaking at #32 in the UK Singles Chart on re-release (the original release had only peaked at #86).

The album was released the same day as his trio instrumental album Lofty's Roach Souffle, and his home video debut entitled Singin' & Swingin'.
