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."^[3] Nashville Scene thought that "'I’m Diggin’ It' and the ridiculous 'You Wanna What?' position Elliott as the silly, superficial younger sister of Shania Twain."^[7] Time opined that "Elliott's warm voice brings out the melody in every track, deepening and personalizing her songs."^[8]
