Several of the tracks from this album were released as singles and made the Hot Country Songs charts: Scotty Emerick's "What's Up with That" and Lindsey Haun's "Broken" both made No. 52 on the charts in 2006. [2] Keith's own "Crash Here Tonight" also appeared on his 2006 album White Trash with Money , from which it was released as a single that year. "Jacky Don Tucker", the closing track, previously appeared on Keith's 1997 album Dream Walkin' .
The album itself reached a peak of No. 4 on the Top Country Albums chart dated for September 16, 2006. [3]
Giving it 2.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote that "the fact that Keith has brought in such understated songwriters as Fred Eaglesmith and Matraca Berg for his big-screen debut illustrates that he's a more complicated figure than some may initially think. But even if it's in good taste, Broken Bridges is frequently pleasant but rather dull". [4]
