Following the successful release of "I Still Burn", Regner's full-length debut album

certified gold by the IFPI for sales of more than 100,000 copies. Reviews for the album were generally favorable, with LAUT's critic Dani Fromm praising the "versatile, powerful-voiced and likeable" character of Regner's music, and others calling it "unidirectional" but "positive", comparing it to Jon Bon Jovi. However, further singles – "She's So" and the Open Season
theme song "Cool Without You" – failed to chart or sell noticeably. Regner was dropped eventually from his record label.
