Reflections was The Judds's sixth compilation release in their career and among several to reach a charting position on a Billboard survey.

In 1991, they ended their musical partnership after Naomi Judd was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. In the years that followed, their former labels (Curb/RCA) would issue several more compilation albums, including reflections.

Three of the songs had previously been hit singles: "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)," "Guardian Angels" and "Love Can Build a Bridge.

"[1] Five of the additional tracks were songs previously included on The Judds' following studio albums: Heartland and River of Time.

The fourth track was a gospel song entitled "When King Jesus Calls His Children Home," which had not been previously issued on an album.
