Measured success

All three previously unreleased songs on the Reflections: Greatest Hits compilation were released as a single. The first, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" was released in advance of the album and had been on the "Hot Country Singles & Tracks" chart for 11 weeks when the album debuted.^[6] The second single, "Back in Your Arms Again", was released on August 28, 1995.^[2] They peaked at numbers 1 and 4^[7] on the Billboard "Hot Country Singles & Tracks" chart respectively. "Standing Tall", a cover of Billie Jo Spears' 1980 single, was released in September 1995^[3] and peaked at 32 in early 1996.^[7]

The rest of the album consists of two hits from Leave the Light On, three from Something in Red, two from Watch Me, and the #13 duet with Morgan's then husband Keith Whitley, "'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose", which originally appeared on Whitley's own Greatest Hits album in 1990. Reflections peaked at #5 on the "Top Country Albums" chart and #46 on the U.S. "Billboard 200" album chart.
