Australian singles released from the album were "Poor Man's Pride" (2005), "Swingin' Door" (2006) and the title track (2006). Two cover versions are included on the album, "Wrapped" by Bruce Robison as the title track of his 1998 album, and "Life's Highway" by Steve Wariner from his 1986 album of the same name. Reception. Jeff Glorfeld of "The Age" observed, "it becomes evident she is serious about her music, showing classical influences such as Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn... The voice is rich if generic, and  the songs are mostly from the honkytonk heartache, you-done-me-wrong perspective, which sounds a bit silly coming from this kid, but Britt's wry self-awareness makes it work. It's good fun." "Comcast"s Tim Noel felt "[it] may not be strong enough to share with your friends as far as an introduction to [Britt]. There is some strong material here such as 'Swingin' Door' and 'Poor Man's Pride', but it's filled with mediocre stuff that sounds like late 90s material... I know Britt has a more rocking side that should hopefully come out in her  upcoming [album]." Amazon.com editorial review includes, "an exquisitely crafted collection of powerful and moving songs, mostly written by Catherine."
