Content

The Fun of Your Love charted two singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in 2000: the title track at number 31, and "What If It's Me" at number 67.^[1]

Critical reception

Rating it four out of five stars, Maria Konicki Dinoia of AllMusic praised the selection of songwriters such as Beth Nielsen Chapman, and compared Day's voice favorably to Martina McBride. Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time was less favorable, considering Day's musical image imitative of other artists and also writing, " the music contains lots of loud guitars and drums to power the glossy sounding songs...and very little of a country sound."^[2]
