So herewith the results, recorded one hot September night way out west."[1] The album was announced on 4 November and released on 27 November 2015. Reyne toured with Moving Pictures throughout Australia from October 2015 – February 2016, further promoting the album [2]

Lucy Barber-Hancock from Renowned for Sound said: "It's a powerful recording which emphasise's Reyne's sheer talent not only as a vocalist, but as an entertainer." adding "The album is expertly arranged, with a clear sense of rise and fall throughout." Barber-Hancock was critical of "his banter with the audience [which at times] veers into self-indulgence".
