The title track to Brand New Girlfriend became Holy's second Number One single on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, a position that it held for one week.

This record was broken one year later by Tracy Lawrence's "Find Out Who Your Friends Are", which reached Number One on its forty-first chart week.

Following the title track, two other singles — "Come On Rain" and "Men Buy the Drinks (Girls Call the Shots)" — were released from this album, both peaking in the lower regions of the top 40 on the country charts.

Also included is a cover of "All for the Love of Sunshine", which was previously a Number One country hit for Hank Williams, Jr. (and the Mike Curb Congregation) in 1970, while the song "Wrap Around" was originally recorded by Keith Anderson on his 2005 album Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll.

Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time gave the album a mixed review, saying that he considered Holy's performances strongest on the more traditionally-influenced songs and the title track.
