Critical reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

Larry Flick from Billboard stated that on "But I Will", "the power of her pliable, pure country voice has never been better showcased than on this heartfelt ballad about a woman who's had just about enough."[7] Ian Nicolson from Music Week wrote, "Pushing Trisha Yearwood in the glamour and multi-format merchandise stakes, the debut release from this rich-voiced singer shows she has the pipes to back up the hype. The rock and roll-tinged US country number one single, 'Wild One', sets the tone, but the 'I've Got This Friend' duet with Larry Stewart will please traditionalists."[3]
