"Wielki powrót Duran Duran" - tak brzmiał nagłówek jednej z recenzji tej płyty. To z niej pochodzą największe przeboje Duran Duran z lat 90. "Ordinary World" oraz "Come undone". Sama płyta nie ma tytułu, podobnie jak na pierwszej (z 1981 roku) widnieje jedynie na niej napis "Duran Duran". Potoczna jej nazwa "The wedding album" wzięła się od reprodukcji na okładce zdjęć ślubnych rodziców członków Duran Duran. Czasami płytę można spotkać opisaną jako "Duran Duran 2".
