Right or Wrong topped Billboard's (North America) Top Country albums chart, and peaked at #163 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The singles "You Look So Good in Love" (which was Strait's first song to have a music video), "Right or Wrong" and "Let's Fall to Pieces Together" all topped the Hot Country Singles chart. There were three cover songs on the album: 1) "Right or Wrong", a traditional song dating back to the 1920s which was previously most associated with the Emmett Miller and Bob Wills versions; 2) the Hank Williams song "I'm Satisfied with You"; and 3) the Merle Haggard song, "Our Paths May Never Cross". The album was recorded and mixed digitally.
