It was certified platinum in the United States by the RIAA and gold in Canada. Five singles were released from the album, with one being released in the UK. Its self-titled single has been praised by fans and critics, eventually winning Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the 1987 Grammy Awards and becoming the first woman to win "Song of the Year" at the Country Music Association Awards. The song also earned Oslin the top female vocalist award at the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM) and won the ACM award for music video of the year. The album garnered many major award nominations throughout 1988, and highly favorable reviews from music critics. Following the album's release, Oslin embarked on tours with Alabama and George Strait.
