Critical Reception[]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote in his review of the album: "So, LeAnn Rimes winds up being one of her better efforts, even if her vocals are fairly mannered and the arrangements are fairly predictable. But the most curious thing about this covers album is that Rimes turns in her best performance on the lone new track. She sounds loose, confident and exciting on "Big Deal," and even more importantly, she never sounds like one of her idols -- she sounds like herself. And since it comes at the end of the record, you can't help but wish she'd recorded an album of new, pure country songs as good as "Big Deal" instead of a collection of covers, no matter how well she sang those covers."
Entertainment Weekly gave the album a "B-", saying "this is an album that she should have waited a few years, and a few heartbreaks, to make."
