Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "On her third album, tough-talking country star Gretchen Wilson tries a little tenderness. 'I know I don't act much like a lady/ But I still need to be somebody's baby,' she admits on the affectingly personal title tune. Wilson reveals more of her vulnerable side on 'Pain Killer,' a classic heartbreak ballad on which she seeks temporary emotional relief from a one-night stand. But Wilson is still a redneck woman through and through, as she boasts on honky-tonkers like 'There Goes the Neighborhood'" ("Music: Country," 5/21/07, p. 49).
