Bill Dillon, Pierre Marchand, Joel Zifkin and Kate's son Rufus Wainwright appear as guest musicians.

The title track was covered by Linda Ronstadt on her 1993 album Winter Light. It was given a New Age treatment and became a worldwide hit. Issued as a single, Ronstadt's version of the song reached the top 30 at the Adult Contemporary chart, number 12 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart in the United States, and peaked at number 17 on Canada's RPM 100 Hit Tracks (the Canadian equivalent of the Billboard Hot 100). It was also successful in several other countries, including Australia.

The song "I Eat Dinner (When the Hunger's Gone)" was covered in 2004 by Kate's son Rufus Wainwright along with Dido for the film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and it appears on the soundtrack album.

Cœur de pirate covered the album's title track on the soundtrack album for the fifth season of the television drama series Trauma.
