The album includes the number one single "Let It Rain", which features Sarah Buxton on backing vocals, and the title track, which peaked at number 38 on the country music charts.

"Grandpa's Farm" was also recorded by Frankie Ballard on his 2011 self-titled album, and "Desiree" by The Ranch, a band fronted by Keith Urban, on their 1997 self-titled debut. Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum co-wrote the track "I Thought You Knew".

Critical reception
Thom Jurek of Allmusic rated the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, saying that "Musically and sonically it's well above average, even if there are three generic cuts in the middle that keep it from rising to the next level."
