This album received four out of a possible five stars and ranked No. 66 on their 100 Greatest Contemporary Country Albums by Country Universe.

Robert Wooldridge of Country Standard Time writes that "White's impressive vocal skills are in evidence on this impressive debut."

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."

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.
