The lead single, "I'm a Survivor", was released in July 2001; the song would also become the theme song for her TV show Reba (2001–2007) albeit in an alternate version. It was a huge hit, peaking at number three on the US Hot Country Songs chart and becoming one of her signature hits. McEntire's cover of Kenny Rogers's 1977 single "Sweet Music Man" was a moderate hit, peaking at number 36.
The album debuted atop the Billboard Top Country Albums chart on November 10, 2001 with first week sales of 147,000 copies.
