It became the band's first number one album and spawned their second number one single Hello, I Love You. Much of the material of this album had been written around and before the time of the group's formation, most notably Not To Touch The Earth, which was taken from Morrison's epic poem Celebration Of The Lizard . The poem was originally intended to be recorded for this album where it would have taken up one side, but the group were never able to get it right (they would revisit it later in its full-length form on their 1970 album Absolutely LiveAbsolutely Live is the first live album released by American rock band The Doors in 1970. see 1970 in music).

Though a strong album lyrically, musically it has often been criticised for its softer, mellow sound; a departure from the familiar, edgier sound that the Doors had become well-known and notorious for. There is, however classic hard rock to be found on here, most notably the tracks Five To One and the much more evocative Not To Touch The Earth.
