The title track was Coffey's highest charting single, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard country charts in 2002.^[1] The album is Coffey's only studio album affiliated with a professional record label.

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five, describing Coffey as "a more approachable Faith Hill— her polished country-pop is every bit as urbane, yet it doesn't feel as glamorous."^[2] Country Standard Time reviewer Jeffrey B. Remz compared her vocals to those of Sara Evans, saying that Coffey's voice was "strong [and] full-bodied" but added that he thought the album lacked a sense of identity.^[3]
