As of March 2003, An Evening with the Dixie Chicks has sold 2 million copies in the United States and has been certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

An Evening was filmed over two nights at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre.

The film features songs from the band's albums Home, Fly and Wide Open Spaces.

[1] The concerts were scheduled for this filming, as they took place soon before the release of Home but several months before the start of the Top of the World Tour.

Dan Macintosh indicates that the film shows "...their love of country roots...with plenty of musical skills to drive this point home.
