The album was the third studio collection released in Wilson's music career and the first issued on a major record label.

The latter release became Wilson's breakout single, reaching chart positions on the country music surveys in North America.

In addition, Jason Nix and Brent Anderson are featured writers on multiple songs in the track listing.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Wilson explained that she wanted the disc to have the "pureness of Lee Ann Womack" and the "sassiness of Dolly Parton".

[2] Four of the disc's tracks were originally released on Redneck Hollywood: "WWDD", "Dirty Looks", "LA" and "Things a Man Oughta Know".

[7] The eighth track "Keeping Bars in Business" was composed after Wilson and her co-writers all experienced different personal tragedies: "We were talking about how even though we were going through things in life, they don’t stop the world from turning," she stated.

"[8] The eleventh track "Rolling Stone" was based on the breakup of Wilson and her high school boyfriend.

Mark Deming of AllMusic commented that the album "boasted more polished production but didn't dilute her style.

"[1] Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone commented, "It sounded like little else this year, and seemed particularly reflective of her singular, unabashedly Southern personality.

"[2] Jeremy Chua compared Wilson's style on the album to that of Miranda Lambert and Kellie Pickler.

A force to be reckoned with, the Louisianan’s stellar album seals her position as a mainstay in country music.

"[11] Veteran critic Robert Christgau was more reserved in his praise, highlighting the songs "Dirty Looks" and "Sunday Best" while saying in reference to the album title: "Also what she's drinkin', often with a sexual edge to it, which says plenty for her skill set and not enough for her emotional equilibrium".
