The album features contributions by Troy Cassar Daley, Bill Chambers and The McClymonts.

Kim Cheshire from Country Update magazine wrote "The songwriting and vocals are much more mature and assured, the production warmer and a little more adventurous, and there's absolutely nothing here that's going to sway me from my opening salvo, she's still the best country songwriter we’ve got and as far as I can see she's still racing way ahead of the pack".
