 It also charted at number 1 on Official New Zealand Music Chart and on the French Music Charts.The album came out shortly after Sting's solo album "The Soul Cages", prompting David Sinclair to point out in his review in "Q" Magazine that "Copeland and Summers were far more than a passive vehicle for Sting's songs.As powerful personalities and assertive musicians in their own right, they gingered up Sting's basic ideas while putting the brakes on his tendency to earnest excess."
