A major commercial success, the album peaked at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart and achieved double-platinum certification in the UK, representing 600,000 units. It spawned five hit singles, including 'Sunday Shining', 'Even After All' and 'It's Great When We're Together', and went gold less than three weeks after release. The album cemented Quaye's breakthrough, earning him the BRIT Award for British Male Solo Artist in 1998 and establishing Maverick a Strike as one of the standout British albums of its era.
