The title refers to the legendary chupacabra, a creature believed through some parts of the Americas to drink the blood of livestock.

The album's second single, "I'm a Tree," was far less commercially successful, peaking outside the top 200 in Australia and failing to chart anyplace else.

[5][6][7][8] According to Coppola, the rap song, which includes a sample of Donovan's "Sunshine Superman",[9] started as an idea she had for a movie about women who "love 'em and leave 'em and ride off into the sunset.

[19][20] Entertainment Weekly's review, written by Matt Diehl, was negative, commenting that "Coppola's folk-rapping forges the missing link between Missy Elliott and Bob Dylan, which results in a forced eclec- ticism.

"[17] In contrast, Bradley Torreano's review for AllMusic was highly positive, stating that "The frantic rhythms mesh nicely with her rich voice on tracks like 'I'm a Tree' and 'Soon (I Like It)' while her personality shines through on the pleasantly egotistical 'It's All About Me, Me, and Me' and on the Donovan-sampled 'Legend of a Cowgirl.'"

"[21] A review in Billboard opined that the album "showcases her gift for razor-sharp urban portraits and up-to-the-minute musical tableaux that flirt with hip-hop, pop, dance, and alternative rock."
