Content[]
Brice confirmed the album's track listing in September 2020. In advance of the album, Brice released the single "One of Them Girls". Also included on the album is "I Hope You're Happy Now", a duet with Carly Pearce from the latter's self-titled album. The Voice contestant Blessing Offor sings duet vocals on the title track.[1]
Critical reception[]
Rating it 3.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic found the album to contain more stylistic variety than its predecessors. He also said of Brice that he " he wears his impending middle age quite well, proving that even if he's changing his fashions, what looks best on him is something with a little heart."[2]
