This album received four out of a possible five stars and ranked No. 66 on their 100 Greatest Contemporary Country Albums by Country Universe.[3]
Robert Wooldridge of Country Standard Time writes that "White's impressive vocal skills are in evidence on this impressive debut."[4]
William Ruhlmann of AllMusic says of Ms. White, "She could wring depths of feeling from the plot twists of the tearjerker "Why Do I Feel So Good" and barnstorm through the stomping "Wishful Thinking" with equal effectiveness."[1]
Jack Hurst of the Chicago Tribune reviews the album and writes, "This might seem to be a better album had it begun with its fifth cut, "(If He's So Bad) Why Do I Feel So Good." That one and three that follow it-"Wishful Thinking" (no, not the old one), "Let's Talk About Love Again" and "Hey Hey Mama"-all sound like possible harbingers of a female persona that has not existed on the country scene for some time, if ever. In these songs, young White-whose voice displays vestiges of both Patty Loveless and Emmylou Harris-exhibits a kick and fire that suggest the imminent arrival of a female Dwight Yoakam. Her dominant sound is that of a raucous rebelliousness. The style isn't polished yet, as some of the album's earlier cuts indicate, but it's hard to remember when a country female has dared to be quite this traditional and, at the same time, this bold.[2]
