Production

The album was produced by Tony Brown and Jeff Teague.[10] Elliott cowrote two of the album's songs.[11]

Critical reception

Country Standard Time wrote that "Elliott's a talented vocalist, but what she's chosen (or been given) to sing is perfectly forgettable and nearly free of country influence."[8] Nashville Scene thought that "'I’m Diggin’ It' & the ridiculous 'You Wanna What?' position Elliott as the silly, superficial younger sister of Shania Twain."[12] Time opined that "Elliott's warm voice brings out the melody in every track, deepening and personalizing her songs."[13]
