The album produced three singles: "Confessin' My Love", "Fallin' Never Felt So Good", and "Man, What a Woman". Mark Wright produced the album.

Dude Mowrey originally recorded "Fallin' Never Felt So Good" on his 1991 debut album Honky Tonk. Mark Chesnutt recorded both "Confessin' My Love" and "Fallin' Never Felt So Good" on his 2000 album Lost in the Feeling (also produced by Wright), in addition to releasing his version of the former as a single that year. Rhett Akins covered "K-I-S-S-I-N-G" on his 1996 album Somebody New.

## Critical reception

[edit]

Daniel Cooper of New Country magazine gave the album 2.5 out of 5 stars, praising Camp's singing and production but criticizing his lyrics, saying that "there's nary a memorable line anywhere on the record."[1] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock was favorable when reviewing the album's 2010 release, praising Camp's lyrics while comparing the album's sound favorably to Marty Stuart and Dwight Yoakam.[2]
