The first single, "Skinny Genes", was released on 11 April 2010. The second single, "Pack Up", was released on 5 July 2010. On 7 January 2011 it was announced by BPI that the album had been certified Platinum for sales of 300,000 in the UK. The album was released in the United States on 19 April 2011.
Fraser McAlpine of BBC Blog gave the album a positive review stating:
Let’s start with the voice. It’s a beautiful, expressive thing: high and clear, with the occasional emotive crack. The pretty melodies and tweeting harmonies (literally, in some cases) are rendered snoozily, as if Eliza’s vocals were recorded just after waking and stretching from a dream-filled sleep.
Notes
"Missing" features a sample from the 1959 The Fleetwoods hit "Come Softly to Me"
"Pack Up" features uncredited vocals from Lloyd Wade and contains elements of "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag"
