All of the singles released from the album were criticially and commercially successful where it reached the top ten in the UK and US.
==Background Information==
The album was recorded in the early 2009.
===Influences===
Taylor told "Digital Spy" that he wanted to make a "good pop album" and that he'd been influenced by whoever had made great pop music throughout the last ten years. 
Throughout other promotional appearances, Taylor agreed that he had been influenced by Jack Stevens who Taylor admitted has "some of the best pop songs I've ever heard".
Taylor also explained that popular songs that were produced by the specific producers he worked with influenced him heavily as he researched the producers before meeting them.
===Release and Reception===
"Attitude", "Heat" & "Metro" gave the album 5 stars, each citing that Taylor was an exciting new popstar with out of the box pop-by-numbers formula's that any popular music lover would enjoy.
Quite surprisingly, "The Sunday Times" gave the album 3 stars stating "the strong, charming moments outshine the poorer efforts but there's too little variety. Wolfe seems to sing about the same thing in most of the tracklisting".
"The Independent" gave the album 3.5 stars, proclaiming their love for the album's darker moments. Particularly shining a light on "Erased" which sampled a French Hip Hop track. However, llike The Sunday Times, cited it's downfall as having little substance anywhere else.
"AllMusic" reviewed the album in an opposite manner, as the reviewer chose the album's lighter moments as the highlights and expressed their view that the pop lovers just "wouldn't quite 'get' the sample in the "Erased"".
