Country Standard Time wrote that "Elliott's a talented vocalist, but what she's chosen (or been given) to sing is perfectly forgettable and nearly free of country influence." [3] Nashville Scene thought that "'I’m Diggin’ It' and the ridiculous 'You Wanna What?' position Elliott as the silly, superficial younger sister of Shania Twain." [12] Time opined that "Elliott's warm voice brings out the melody in every track, deepening and personalizing her songs." [13]

Earl Eugene Scruggs was an American musician noted for popularizing a three-finger banjo picking style, now called "Scruggs style", which is a defining characteristic of bluegrass music. His three-finger style of playing was radically different from the traditional way the five-string banjo had previously been played. This new style of playing became popular and elevated the banjo from its previous role as a background rhythm instrument to featured solo status. He popularized the instrument across several genres of music.
