The album also features one Simon original, From the Heart. The album was recorded during her marriage break up to James Taylor, which was announced shortly after the release of the album. The man whose arm Simon is tugging on the cover is American actor Al Corley, known for playing Steven Carrington on the 1980s soap opera Dynasty. The photographer was Lynn Goldsmith. Hurt was the only single released from the album. It just missed the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 106 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. Not a Day Goes By was included on Simon's 2002 career spanning collection Anthology. From the Heart was included on Simon's 2015 career retrospective Songs From The Trees (A Musical Memoir Collection).
