The lead-off single, "Big Boat," failed to chart substantially, only staying on the Top 100 for two weeks, reaching #93. Cash Box described it as "an exciting, fast moving folk opus."[3] The second single, "Settle Down (Goin' Down That Highway)," did slightly better, peaking at #56 on the Pop charts during a 6-week run; however, it did become an easy listening hit at #14.
