Sailing" was a number one hit in the UK in September 1975, and returned to the UK Top 3 a year later when it was used as the theme for the BBC series Sailor; both acoustic and electric guitars in the song were played by Pete Carr. [9] In 1977, almost two years after the album was released, Stewart scored another UK number one from the album with the double A-side single " I Don't Want to Talk About It" and " The First Cut Is the Deepest" (from the album A Night on the Town - 1976).

Of the ballads, "Drift Away" must rank as one of his most pointless covers especially as Dobie Gray's hit version was still a recent memory. "It's Not The Spotlight" and "Still Love You" both unconvincingly attempt to reintroduce the mandolin to his sound which so characterised earlier hits. "I Don't Want To Talk About It" is a sensitive cover of a lesser-known Crazy Horse tune and became one of his signature songs although it wasn't released as a single until partnering the next album's "The First Cut Is The Deepest" as a double A-side over a year later. Este disco, aunque está perfecto, no me parece que se escuche especialmente bien. Se oye bien, ojo, pero no es el sonido ese espectacular que se espera.That just leaves the two original single releases from it, the first, "Sailing" another good spot in transforming the almost unknown Sutherland Brothers song into a scarf-waving anthem and the second a twinkling slow-burn version of the Motown classic "This Old Heart Of Mine" although years later he would take it at the original speed in conjunction with original singer Ronald Isley.

Skye Boat Song (The Atlantic Crossing Drum & Pipe Band)" [Alternate Version] (Boulton, MacLeod) 4:20 The title indicated Stewart's new commercial and artistic direction, referring to both his crossing over to Warner Brothers and on his departure to escape the 83 per cent top rate of income tax introduced by British Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson for the jet-set lifestyle in Los Angeles (where he had applied for American citizenship at this time). The album was divided into a fast side and a slow side, apparently at the suggestion of Stewart's then-girlfriend, Swedish actress Britt Ekland. Stewart would repeat the format for his next two albums.

With Atlantic Crossing, Stewart ended his association with Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and the stable of musicians who had been his core collaborators on his classic run of albums for Mercury Records, fusing soul and folk. Instead, he used a group of session musicians, including The Memphis Horns and three-quarters of Booker T. and the MG's. The album was produced by Tom Dowd, the famous engineer and producer on records by so many of Stewart's heroes during Dowd's time on staff at Atlantic Records. The only song performed from this album on The Faces' final US tour in autumn 1975 was "Three Time Loser", and the rest of the group heavily disliked Stewart's change in musical direction on this album. Following the success of the album, and his move to the U.S., Stewart announced his exit from the Faces by the end of the year.
