The album peaked at number 89 on the Billboard 200. The album's sales became a disappointing result for Vanilla Ice's career, after the worldwide success of his previous album To the Extreme.
The song "I Want U 2 Know" by American singer Denise Lopez was not on the official soundtrack album, although the track was one of the main themes of the film, played during the Kristin Minter scenes. The song is a power pop ballad, which was released originally in 1990 and later obtained moderate airplay during 1991 and the first half of 1992 in the United States, due to its exposure in the film.
The title track was nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Original Song, but lost to "Addams Groove" by MC Hammer from The Addams Family.
