It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

"The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
