Reasons to Hang Around" debuted at number two on the Norwegian album chart VG-lista when it was released in January 2006, only beaten by Madrugada's bestseller "Live at Trafalmadore". The album went gold and generated no less than four major domestic radio hits: "Let The Night Begin", Come Back to Me", "Supergirl" and "Alison". The opening track "Wish You'd Hold That Smile" became an indie hit on French radio, and the album sold almost as well in France as it did in Norway. Towards the end of the year, "Reasons..." was a regular on the “best of the year” lists in the music press, and in the winter of 2007 the album won a Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannprisen) in the category "best pop group".
This anniversary edition contains four bonus songs from the 2005 recording that were not included on the original CD edition. Two of these: "No One to Talk to" and "Going Down That Road Again" have never been released before. The album comes in a double gatefold on colored vinyl with liner notes from journalist Geir Rakvaag.
