Reba's traditional country phase of the mid-eighties ended with this album, which signalled the start of a move to the pop-country sounds that brought Reba greater success in the nineties. Nevertheless, the production remains simple here so all but the most die-hard traditionalists can enjoy this.
This album opens with Reba's brilliant cover of Cathy's clown, the Everly Brothers classic, with the lyrics adjusted to present Cathy's perspective, giving it a slightly more upbeat feel. Not many people know this, but Reba actually recorded this after hearing an unreleased Dolly Parton recording. It seems that Dolly changed the lyrics but elected not to make her version available to the public. Dolly's version remains unreleased to this day.

You can hear an optimistic view of a sad situation in Till love comes again. A slightly sad song is It always rains on Saturday. Am I the only one who cares, Somebody up there likes me, You must really love me, Say the word, Little girl, Walk on and New love are all upbeat in mood although they vary in tempo.
This album, with so many upbeat songs and with even the sad songs not being especially sad, may lack the gravitas that a real tearjerker would give this album, but Reba has recorded plenty of those elsewhere. This is a good-time album with which to forget about all life's problems. As such, it is among my favorite Reba albums.

This is a great album that introduces you to some of Reba's earlier music.
I found 'It Always Rains on Saturday' a touching song about how the mother feels saying goodbye to her young child whhen he goes away for a couple of days.
Another favourite of mine is 'Somebody Up There Likes Me'. Boy if you ever feel unsure about yourself this song will lift you up! And Reba's version of 'Little Girl' was fantastic.
Overall, a wonderful album with the great qualities of Reba's voice shining through and great songs to sing along to! You NEED this album in your collection!
