The title track and "Love to Love" were featured in the 1999 movie Detroit Rock City. "Love to Love" was covered by Djali Zwan for the 2002 movie Spun and by Europe for their 2008 live album Almost Unplugged. An instrumental version of "Too Hot to Handle" is used at the beginning of Mark Madden's radio show on WXDX-FM in Pittsburgh, Madden being a longtime fan of UFO. Kerrang! magazine listed the album at No.28 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time". Steve Harris of Iron Maiden called "Love to Love" his favourite song. "'Love to Love' is brilliantly written and constructed," observed Quireboys guitarist Guy Griffin. "It has a majesty that makes it world-class. The Quireboys covered it… and when you do that, you get to understand how good the song is." Classic Rock Magazine said in 2021: "This is the record that set up a blueprint which was to influence many bands during the following decade." ==Track listing==
