[2] It was her highest-selling effort since I Hope You Dance (2000), debuting at number 3 on the Top Country Albums chart with first week sales of 83,000 copies.

Womack told The Dallas Morning News that MCA Nashville inspired her to record another album and said "I was sitting at home after Something Worth Leaving Behind thinking, 'Gosh, I thought this is what people wanted.

[9] "Lee Ann Womack's There's More... is an album steeped in an old-school country tradition: tales of dead-end relationships, cheating and broken hearts abound.

The traditional-sounding arrangements – featuring steel guitar, piano, harmonica and fiddle, – help color a page from a bygone era, leaning heavily on the sepia-toned '70s for a classic, "old country" sound.

Womack evokes George Jones on the killer "One's a Couple" and tender, world-weary "Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago."

[14] Editors at The Detroit Free Press gave the album four stars and wrote, "Womack has rooted around in country's earthy past and rediscovered a simple truth: Sin can be a mighty sweet topic, especially when it's approached honestly and accompanied by a fiddle and steel guitar.

"[15] Shane Harrison of The Atlanta Journal gave the album a B+ rating and wrote, "Nothing else is quite as old-school as that opener, but Womack's voice makes sure it's all as country as can be, even if a few of the songs lean a little toward pop.

"[16] Joey Guerra of the Houston Chronicle gave the album a positive review and wrote, "Womack's polished approach to the material doesn't match Wright's warts-and-all honesty, but both women are thankfully – and often thrillingly – back to making country music their own way.

"[17] Sarah Rodman of the Boston Herald gave the album a positive review and wrote, There's More Where That Came From" finds Womack blending contemporary country hooks with a down-home approach to arranging the fiddles, banjos, strings and pedal steel guitars.

The easygoing arrangements help Womack purposefully evoke the laid-back, yet sometimes raw sound of such heroes as Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette.

[20] Ralph Novak of People Magazine gave the album three stars in his review and praised "Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago".

[21] Josh Tyrangiel of Time Magazine gave the album a favorable review and praised "Waiting for the Sun to Shine" and said it provides "a much needed reminder that country, more than any other musical genre, still has the potential to offer instant intimacy.
