Reception

The album reached #26 on the Billboard Albums chart, helped by the singles "All the Way," "A World of Fantasy," and "Never Surrender," which hit #2, #3, and #23, respectively, on Billboard's Mainstream Top Rock Tracks chart in 1983. Of these, "All the Way" was Triumph's highest-charting song on the Top Rock Tracks chart, but it did not retain lasting popularity with fans and was not included in the band's later live albums, such as Stages (1985), Classics (a greatest hits album), or Livin' for the Weekend: The Anthology (2005). In Canada, Never Surrender peaked at No. 29 on the RPM album chart, a drop from the band's previous album, Allied Forces, which had reached No. 13.
