Background and release

"It's 10 years since its original release and it's just been named the best-charting album by an Australian in 30 years. It was seven-and-half months at number one—and that was really special. So basically it's in celebration of ARIA releasing these statistics. It was an incredible moment and I'm extremely proud." [1]

— Goodrem, on releasing the album. (2013).

A day after the release of the album, RenownedForSound.com published a four-star review, which praised Goodrem by noting that "growth and maturity can be notably heard, especially through her vocals". They also stated, however, that there were some downfalls on the album, such as that "some of the songs suffer from the curse of oversinging." Some of these songs included some of her biggest hits: "Born to Try", "Not Me, Not I" and "Predictable". The article mentioned that the highlights on the album included "Lost Without You" and "Butterfly" as "these songs manage to find the right balance between the original and Delta’s vocal experimentation."
