Transcription
Content and reception
The album was one of the first production credits for Paul Worley, then primarily known for his work as a session guitarist.[1] The album accounted for three singles on the Hot Country Songs charts: "I Got Mexico", which was Raven's first number 1 hit there, followed by the title track and "She's Gonna Win Your Heart".[2]
Cash Box magazine described the title track as "an upbeat tune stressing Raven’s clear, distinct vocals."[3] Writing for Stereo Review magazine (now known as Sound & Vision), Alanna Nash noted that while it had fewer songs written by Raven and a "slightly more mainstream" sound than its predecessors, the album was "well up to his own high standards", while also considering Raven's singing more upbeat and confident than on previous efforts.[4]
