She had top ten hit singles with songs like "Let Me Down Easy" and "I Just Can't Stay Married to You", in addition to an accolade from the Academy of Country Music Awards.

The disc's remaining songs were mostly "pop ballads", according to Greg Adams of AllMusic, highlighting Lane's cover of "Danny Boy" as an example.

It was produced by songwriter Jerry Gillespie, who had previously composed tracks Lane had recorded for prior album releases.

Adams compared Lane's music style to that of Lynn Anderson due to her "innocuous, broadly-appealing variety of country [that] would have made her a Lawrence Welk Show favorite."

Adams also praised Lane's "well-enunciated" vocal style and the record's "slick pop production".

Prior to the album's release, "One Day a Time" was issued as a single via United Artists Records in March 1980.
