Following the commercial disappointment of her previous album, Deconstruction (1999), Brooks was dropped from Capitol Records.

The reissue had a rearranged track listing and included an additional remix of "Shine," which was featured as the theme song for Dr. Phil from 2004 to 2008.

[4] Speaking on the freedom that this home studio allowed her, Brooks commented: "Musically, lyrically, vocally, and guitar-wise, I realized that for the first time I could do everything I wanted to do.

[7] Gold Circle Records folded almost immediately after the album's release, resulting in it receiving very minimal promotion.

"[9] Michael Paoletta of Billboard referred to the effort as a "welcome return that shows the kids a thing or two."
