Growing Up in Public peaked at No. 158 on the Billboard 200.[9] One single was released from the album, "The Power of Positive Drinking", which failed to chart.

Production

Michael Fonfara and Reed produced the album.[10] It was written and recorded over a period of six weeks in sessions that took place at George Martin's AIR Studios in Montserrat.

Critical reception

Rolling Stone called the album "a polished package of bombastic rock & roll — indeed, probably Reed’s best commercial shot since his 1974 Top Ten anomaly, Sally Can’t Dance."[10] Trouser Press wrote that Reed uses "driving rock and delicate melodicism to back thoughtful lyrics and impassioned singing."[11]
