The album was reissued by Restless Records in 1998 under the name ''Chopper One'', with a new artwork, and a newly-recorded single [["A Punk Named Josh"]] replacing "Mary's Clothes" in the otherwise unchanged track listing - although they did leave off the original hidden track.  This release heralded a new line-up for the band, which added guitarist Dallan Baumgarten, and replaced original drummer Tyrone Rio with Troy Zeigler.

At the time of release, the album was fairly well-received by weezer fans.  The band even played at a couple of weezer fan club gatherings, and contributed the album track "I Like You" to the benefit compilation [[Hear You Me! A Tribute To Mykel And Carli]].  However, time has not been kind to the disc, as many boardies deride its sunny pop sheen and slick production.  Still, some consider it a lost power-pop gem.
