Prior to the album's release, Jaehyun pre-released two songs off the album as a digital single, "Roses" and "Dandelion" on August 12.[44] On the day of the album's release, Jaehyun hosted a listening party titled Jaehyun Vol. 1.[45] The album debuted at number three on the Circle Album Chart, number 11 on the US Heatseekers Albums (Billboard), number 18 on the US Top Albums Sales (Billboard) and number seven on Japanese Albums (Oricon).
