[2] Eagleson stated that "putting this album out is equal parts terrifying and unbelievably rewarding, because it's a collection of songs that really share who I am at my core".
[3] He remarked that it was a dream come true to have Musicians Hall of Fame inductees Paul Franklin and Brent Mason play on the album, and that all of the session players "really complemented the sound of this record".
[4][5] Eagleson chose to re-record a new version of his song "Still Gonna Be You" from his debut album, as well as a country music cover of the 2014 One Direction pop hit "Steal My Girl" for Do It Anyway.
[9] James Daykin of Entertainment Focus favourably reviewed the album, referring to it as a "harmonious blend of contemporary and timeless elements," adding that it "delves into life's fundamental aspects: love, family, and personal development".
He noted a similar feel to the music of Brooks and Dunn and Dierks Bentley, while opining that Eagleson has "an old soul and a glittering career ahead".
