It includes the UK No. 4 single, "Kiss Me", a solo re-recording of a song originally recorded with his earlier band, Tin Tin.[3] A second single from the album, "The Icing on the Cake" reached #14 in the UK.[3] Although further singles from the album were released, none charted within the top 75.[3]
During a 2008 interview to promote its expanded CD reissue, Duffy commented that "I never liked The Ups and Downs. I enjoyed mixing with Stephen Street and making 'The Icing on the Cake' but the rest of it is just a mess."[2]
