It was released in 2000 through the band's own record label Schism Records, following the band's demise in 1998. The recording of the album started in 1997; nevertheless, its release was postponed indefinitely due to a contractual disagreement with 4AD record label.[1]

AllMusic critic Heather Phares thought that "stronger songwriting and clearer production of the record provide the focus and polish necessary to make Scheer's sound less forced." Phares further stated: "Though it grows somewhat repetitive toward the end, it's unfortunate that And Finally didn't receive the release it deserved, as it clearly shows Scheer's continued growth and potential."[2]
