In the liner notes to the 1995 CD re-release, John described the album as being quickly recorded in January 1974, with only about nine days to get everything recorded, because he and the band "were under enormous pressure" to finish the album and immediately embark on a Japanese tour. The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year at the 17th Annual Grammy Awards. However, the album was a commercial success and has been certified double-platinum in the US as well as receiving a gold certification in the UK. The album met with lukewarm reviews on its release and legacy reviews do not consider the record to be among John's best work from his early 1970s peak period. Both singles reached number one in Canada on the RPM 100 national Top Singles Chart, as did the album itself. The album contains the singles " Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", which reached number 16 in the UK Singles Chart and number two in the US, and " The Bitch Is Back", which reached number 15 in the UK and number four in the US. It was his fourth chart-topping album in the United States and his third in the United Kingdom.
