Ismo Alanko has said that the album's lyrics partly reflected how he experienced the sudden success of their debut album. This is most evident in the song "Jurot nuorisojulkkikset" ("Surly Youth Celebrities"). Hassisen Kone played the song in 2000 at a reunion concert, even though Alanko thought it was strange singing the song as a 40-year-old.Pekka Nissilä: Juha Vainion Rahaston tunnustuspalkinto Ismo Alangolle SELVIS magazine 3/2003
In 2005 the critics of Soundi rock magazine chose the album to be the fifth greatest Finnish popular music album.
