Information technology features the UK hit singles: "Lessons in Love" (which reached No. 3 in May 1986), "Running in the Family" (No. 6 in February 1987), "To Be with You Again" (No. 10 in April '87), "It's Over" (No. 10, in September 1987) and "Children Say" (No. 22 at the cease of 1987). All five singles peaked in the Pinnacle 10 in the Netherlands. "Lessons in Dearest" peaked at No. 1 in Germany, Due south Africa, Switzerland and Denmark. This was the last Level 42 album of the 1980s to feature brothers Phil (drums) and Rowland 'Benefaction' Gould (guitar), who had cited dissatisfaction with the musical management of the band and exhaustion as deviation reasons.

Later in 1987, the Platinum Edition of the album was issued. The CD and cassette versions replaced "Lessons in Dear", "Running in the Family" and "It's Over" with remixed versions, and added remixes of "Something About You" and "Earth Automobile" from Level 42's previous anthology. On vinyl, the remixes were featured on i 33 rpm record which was shrink-wrapped to the standard edition of the album.

Also in 1987, the grouping released the video collection Family of Five (with the music videos of the five singles from Running in the Family) exclusively in the United Kingdom.[7]

Running in the Family was a big international success, reaching the Top 10 in numerous countries and the Pinnacle 25 in the Usa; in the UK, information technology was certified ii× Platinum past the BPI.

In 2012, the album was remastered and re-released to gloat the 25th ceremony of its original release.
