It became Parton's first album to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipping a million copies.

[1] Billboard published a review of the album in the October 17, 1977, issue, which said, "This is by far Parton's most accessible pop crossover attempt.

The material she chooses to work with, some by noted authors, others self penned, is delivered in Parton's little girl-sounding vocals.

The delicate string and horn accompaniment adds to the breezy, more subtle country effect.

And the strong guitar work, pedal steel included, doesn't distract from Parton's vocals.

Parton's title track single, which she sang on the Rock Awards television broadcast, is a sure bet to crack the Hot 100.

"[5] In the October 22, 1977, issue, Cashbox published a review saying, "Dolly's winning ways have convinced more than a few former non-believers that country and western audiences have no right to a monopoly on this songbird's talents.

With this album, Dolly takes a giant step into the pop mainstream with a spicy repertoire that features only an occasional banjo or pedal steel lick.

But even those who have seen her perform will have to be at least mildly surprised at how naturally proficient Dolly is at jumping into a completely new bag.

In February 1978, "Two Doors Down" and "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right" were issued as a double A-side single, aimed at the pop and country charts respectively.
