The album's lead single "More Hearts Than Mine"[4] impacted country radio in July 2019.

"The Stranger" was released on June 8, 2020 as the album's second single.[7] The title track impacted U.S. country radio on October 5, 2020 as the album's third single, along with a new lyric video.[8]

Critical reception

Marlo Ashley of Exclaim! rated the album 7 out of 10, stating that the album "sonically diverges from the country-pop norm; Andress's lyrical honesty adds a sentimental perspective that invites you to listen to something out of the ordinary and makes you crave more."[9] Cillea Houghton of Taste of Country wrote that Andress is "intelligent in her writing, clever with her words and has a brazen personality to match," and that she "brings a refreshing voice to country music."[2] Justin Cober-Lake of Pop Matters also rated the album 7 out of 10, writing that the album succeeds "through a combination of songwriting craft and distinctive sound," and adding that "part of that distinctness comes from Andress' clear lyrical voice [which] consistently expresses a single vision."[10]

Awards and Nominations

"Lady Like" received a nomination for Best Country Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, becoming Andress' first nomination in the category.
