エリック・スチュアートとグレアム・グールドマンによる再結成10cc第2弾アルバム。前作とは異なり、海外進出に力を入れ始めていた日本のレコード会社、エイベックスからのリリースとなっている。邦題は「ミラー・ミラー」。アメリカの雑誌に載っていた身の上相談コラムの記事から採られた。
今作はエリックとグレアムが別々に作曲、レコーディングした曲を交互に並べて収録している。このため二人のソロアルバムを10cc名義でリリースしたみたいだと、ファンには不評だった。しかし全体的には統一性が感じられるのも事実で、それは共同プロデューサーとなった元マイク&ザ・メカニックスのメンバー、エイドリアン・リーの力によるものが大きい。
日本盤CDのみ15曲入り。その1曲目の「アイム・ノット・イン・ラヴ リワーク・オブ・アート・ミックス」は1975年のオリジナル・ヴァージョンのトラックの再利用なため、ケヴィン・ゴドレイとロル・クレームがクレジットされている。実際には今回のレコーディングには二人は一際絡んでない。
先行シングルとなった「アイム・ノット・イン・ラヴ(アコースティック・セッション'95)」は全英チャート29位となり、1978年の「トロピカル・ラブ」以降17年ぶりのトップ30入りのシングルとなっている。
この後エイベックスからシンフォニー・ライブ盤の制作が打診されるも、最終的にバンドを再び解散することとなった。
