History
Prior to its release, Buxton issued a six-song extended play entitled Almost My Record. This EP produced the singles "Innocence," "That Kind of Day" and "Space," all of which charted in the country music Top 40. Those three singles and two other tracks from the EP are included on this album, as is her fourth single, "Outside My Window."[3] Buxton co-wrote ten of the eleven songs, including "Stupid Boy," which was previously released by Keith Urban as a single from his 2007 album Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing.
Critical reception
Jessica Phillips of Country Weekly magazine described Buxton's vocal range as "transform[ing] from sunny to sweet[…]to scratchy and soulful" and referred to the songs' topics as "being a typical 20-something-year-old girl in America." Phillips gave the album three-and-a-half stars out of five.[2] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock also described Buxton's voice favorably and called the lyrics "optimistic," but thought that some tracks were overproduced.[4] Stephen Thomas Erlewine considered the album "carefully constructed, with each element designed to reach the broadest possible audience" but said that it also showed that Buxton is "a solid writer and performer," ultimately giving it three stars out of five.[1]
