Critical reception
Aaron Badgley from Allmusic lauded the album, calling it "honest", and "infinitely better than her debut" (Incorrectly referring to Jewel). In contrast, Andy Gill from The Independent gave the album a negative review, saying "Detroit's problem is one of over-abundant choice – she's a good guitarist, a good pianist, a good vocalist, a good harmonica player, and probably pretty nifty on bass and drums, too, but she needs more discipline as to their application."
Singles
"I Hate You Now..." was released as Feeler's lead single in June 1996, and peaked at #107 on the UK Singles Chart. This was followed by "Somebody's Mother", which failed to chart, and "Boy" which reached #102. The fourth and final single, "Flower", was released in mid-1997 and failed to chart.
