- The album was released in September 1964, shortly after the group's breakthrough single "Rag Doll."
- "Born to Wander" reached number 63 on the Billboard 200 chart.
- The album featured the songwriting talents of Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe, who were responsible for many of the group's biggest hits.
