Das Album wurde mit Produzent Mike Paxman eingespielt. Das Album ist das zweite Akustikalbum der Band in Folge nach Aquostic – Stripped Bare (2014). Wie beim Vorgänger werden meist ältere Status-Quo-Songs akustisch gespielt, teils in speziellen (Re-)Arrangements. Dabei werden weiblicher Hintergrundgesang und teils klassische Instrumente verwendet. Hannah Rickard, mit der Francis Rossi 2019 dann auf ihrem Duettalbum We Talk Too Much zusammenarbeitete,[1] ist als Geigerin und Hintergrundsängerin zu hören.

Rezension
David Quantick schrieb für das Magazin Classic Rock:
The Aquostic album saw them performing their back catalogue with a minimal line-up featuring accordions and backing vocals, and it worked brilliantly, highlighting Quo’s rootsier side (and Rossi’s odd knack of writing folky boogie songs).
Now they return with a very literal and almost chronological follow-up. The results are just as effective, and a continuity is established between newer songs like Jam Side Down with old chaps like Roll Over Lay Down. The results are never less than delightful to the ear.[2]
Charts
Das Album erreichte die Charts in einigen Ländern, darunter Platz 26 in Deutschland.[3]
