This single reached number 23 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

[3] Deborah Evans Price of Billboard reviewed the song favorably, comparing the song's theme to "Jolene" by Dolly Parton: "[w]hile 'Jolene' left Parton begging with the temptress to release her man, 'Jezebel' finds Wright passionately staking her claim and boldly confronting her competition."

The following scene then shows Wright outside her apartment building in the rain, waiting for her lover to come home.

The other woman is then left alone in the soaking rain, while Wright's boyfriend returns back to her, following the lyrics of the song.

On the Radio & Records country chart, it debuted at number 48 the week of December 14, 2001.
