Background

The album, recorded and mixed by Ryan Freeland, [11] is her third for her own Redwing Records. It is her 11th recording with her longtime drummer Ricky Fataar and 12th with longtime bassist James "Hutch" Hutchinson. "Made Up Mind" was released as a single on February 25, 2022, reaching number 17 on the US Billboard Adult album alternative (AAA) chart. "Made Up Mind" was followed by the singles "Something's Got a Hold of My Heart" [12] and "Livin' for the Ones" [13] prior to the album's release.

Release and reception

Upon its release, Just Like That... reached number 44 on the Billboard 200.

On AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "The blend of rock, blues, soul, reggae, folk, and pop that fuels Just Like That – her 18th album and first since 2016's Dig In Deep – is deeply familiar, evoking memories of her classic 1970s LPs while sounding of a piece with such relaxed latter-day records as Slipstream... It all adds up to an album that slowly works its way into the subconscious, sounding deeper and richer with each successive play." [14]

Music critic Robert Christgau ranked Just Like That… at number 39 on his "Dean's List" of the best albums of 2022. [15]
