Of the album, Matthews said:<ref>{{cite web | author=Archive-Corey-Moss | title=Dave Matthews Digs Up A Video For His First Solo Single | website=MTV News | date=August 7, 2003 | url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1476086/dave-matthews-digs-up-a-video-for-his-first-solo-single/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190320102034/http://www.mtv.com/news/1476086/dave-matthews-digs-up-a-video-for-his-first-solo-single/ | url-status=dead | archive-date=20 March 2019 | access-date=June 26, 2020}}</ref> <blockquote>"I hadn't really been thinking about doing a solo album until I had a handful of songs that didn't really fit with the band, so I started with those and it just grew into a full record," Matthews said. "I kind of thought it'd be fun to put it out."</blockquote>

Many fans, while at first skeptical of Matthews' desire to release a solo album, quickly praised his efforts. The album is noted for its moodier tone and the fresh direction shown in Matthews' songwriting.<ref>{{cite magazine | title=Coverwall | magazine=Rolling Stone | date=September 4, 2014 | url=https://www.rollingstone.com/t/coverwall/ | access-date=June 26, 2020}}</ref>
