It was released worldwide, mainly through Distort but through [[Equal Vision Records]] in the US, and Sorepoint Records in the UK.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alexisonfire β Watch Out! |url=https://www.discogs.com/master/210691-Alexisonfire-Watch-Out |website=discogs.com |publisher=Discogs |access-date=28 November 2021}}</ref> It debuted at No. 6 on the [[Nielsen Soundscan]] Top 200, sold 6,000 copies in its first week, received gold certification in Canada in twelve weeks, and certified platinum in 2007.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Spitz |first1=Eric |title=Retro Review β Alexisonfire: Watch Out! |url=https://mindequalsblown.net/reviews/album-reviews/retro-review-alexisonfires-watch-out |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170321025351/http://mindequalsblown.net/reviews/album-reviews/retro-review-alexisonfires-watch-out |url-status=usurped |archive-date=March 21, 2017 |website=mindequalsblown.net |date=August 28, 2014 |publisher=Mind Eqls Blwn |access-date=28 November 2021}}</ref><ref name=DineAloneBio/> The critical reception came from the fact that the band was more focused from the eighteen months of touring, helping them harness more aggression, release more emotion, and fine-tune all the tracks. The album was noted as a real departure from their debut album, and was a critical success.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Rogowski |first1=Jordan |title=Alexisonfire - Watch Out! |url=https://www.punknews.org/review/3061/alexisonfire-watch-out |website=punknews.org |date=June 29, 2004 |publisher=Punk News |access-date=28 November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Cameron |first1=Mackenzie |title=Alexisonfire Watch Out! |url=https://dominionated.ca/reviews/albums/alexisonfire-watch-out/ |website=dominionated.ca |date=February 10, 2019 |publisher=Dominionated |access-date=28 November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Thomassen |first1=Jhonn |title=Alexisonfire Watch Out! |url=https://lambgoat.com/albums/1283/Alexisonfire-Watch-Out! |website=lambgoat.com |publisher=Lambgoat |access-date=28 November 2021}}</ref> As soon as the album was released, the band went on tour, playing the Vans [[Warped Tour]] on several US dates, and then heading to the UK, playing the [[Reading and Leeds Festivals]] and other British gigs. (While playing [[Glasgow]] with [[Johnny Truant]] and The Blood Roses in, the members of all three bands had the word "Yeti" tattooed on themselves. On an episode of the MuchMusic program ''The New Music'', Pettit and Green said that the idea for the tattoos came from the 1988 [[Gary Oldman]] film ''[[The Firm (1988 film)|The Firm]]''.) The band spent all of 2005 on the road, touring the UK, US, Canada and Europe. They also played the [[Summer Sonic Festival]] in Japan.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alexisonfire's Concert History |url=https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/alexisonfire?page=15#concert-table |website=concertarchives.org |publisher=Concert Archives |access-date=28 November 2021}}</ref> On June 14, 2005, Alexisonfire posted a statement on their website stating that founding drummer Jesse Ingelevics had left the band.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Conoley |first1=Ben |title=Jesse Ingelevics leaves Alexisonfire |url=https://www.punknews.org/article/12889/jesse-ingelevics-leaves-alexisonfire |website=punknews.org |date=June 17, 2005 |publisher=PunkNews |access-date=28 November 2021}}</ref> He was replaced by Jordan Hastings, late of the band [[Jersey (band)|Jersey]].
