Content

The album's first single, "I Ain't Scared", charted on Hot Country Songs in 2004. Another single, "Let's Get It On", charted in 2005, but did not make the final cut of the album. "Get Outta My Way" and "Isn't She" were both issued in 2006. Clint Black, who owned the Equity Music Group label at the time, produced some of the tracks and provided percussion accompaniment. Other producers on the album included Stephony Smith, Justin Niebank, and the band itself.

Critical reception

Jeff Tamarkin of Allmusic rated the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, praising the prominence of vocal harmony, fiddle, and banjo in the production. Dave Bagdade of Country Standard Time gave the album a positive review, calling the songs "well-constructed" while also noting the prominence of vocal harmony and describing the instrumental arrangements with favor. Cathalena E. Burch of the Arizona Daily Star was also positive toward the band's sound, writing that the album "arrives with a warm and fuzzy feeling of familiarity. But just when you've accepted that this is a band like so many that came before it, Carolina Rain drops in something old that sounds new."
