Background
Most of the songs were played at live venues for a couple of years before the official release. The original release date was said to be during February 2010 but was postponed due to an official release of the second album 'Simple Times' in the UK.
Release and promotion
Joshua promoted the album on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on October 12, the day of the album's release. In promotion of the album, Radin began touring with the Irish band The Script that same month.
The album achieved moderate success in America upon its release, peaking at number 31 on the Billboard Top 200 in late October. It peaked at number 5 in the Billboard Independent Albums, spending three weeks in the chart while also peaking at number 9 in the Billboard Rock Albums. It sold 13,000 copies in its first week.
Reception
Chuck Arnold, with People magazine said that "There's nothing here that hasn't been done better by John Mayer, Jack Johnson and Damien Rice. Still, Rock is solid sensitive-male stuff," and ultimately gave the album two-and-a-half stars out of four.
