The album was recorded over a three-week period in March 1971, at a time when the tensions between the band members were high. Different band members were continually threatening to leave and attendance by Jansch and Renbourn at the recording sessions was dependent on their state of sobriety.

Reception
Allmusic highly praised the album in their retrospective review, calling the most attention to Jansch and Renbourn's acoustic guitar duets and McShee's vocals. They singled out "Wedding Dress" ("a fabulous meeting of Celtic, country, and, believe it or not, funk") and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" ("the group was further exploring new musical ground, this time with traditional American folk/gospel") as especially strong tracks.
