The album was produced by Matt Hyde, who encouraged Fu Manchu to spend more time on preproduction and song arrangements.[3][4] The band pushed the vocals higher in the mix for the album, worked on backing vocals, and tried to keep most of the tracks around three minutes.[5][6] Circle Jerks singer Keith Morris provides vocals on "Bultaco".[7]

Drummer Brant Bjork departed the band after the recording of the album.[8]

The Guardian deemed the album "a strangely nihilistic celebration of all things Cali."[17] NME wrote that Fu Manchu "are the stoned Ramones, a matey Motorhead: a band who can rewrite that album into the infinite future and rule perpetually."[13] The Washington Post thought that "more than anything else, it's the band's cartoonish perspective that keeps Crossing from flagging."[18] USA Today called the songs "rooted in mad propulsion, clean sonics and Scott Hill's atonal holler."[16]
