The review published in the February 14, 1976 issue of Billboard said, "Tucker still does not appear to be singing quite as strongly as she could be, but the effort is a creditable one. Stronger country orientation than rock, which is to be expected. Best part of the LP are the expressive, interpretive vocals on the best of the cuts and some fine new songs from Billy Ray Reynolds, Barbara Keith and Doug Tibbles. Best cuts: "Don't Believe My Heart Can Stand Another You" (easily the best song on the album), "Pride of Franklin Country", and "Leave Him Alone". LP is first produced by Jerry Crutchfield." [3]
The review published by Cashbox in the January 17, 1976 issue said, "Tanya says, "I’m 15, and you’re gonna hear from me", and we absolutely take her at her word as she expresses herself incomparably on this album. Produced by Jerry Crutchfield, it’s terrific Tanya throughout." [4]
The album peaked at No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot Country LPs chart and No. 91 in Canada on the RPM Top Albums chart.
The album's first single, "Don't Believe My Heart Can Stand Another You", was released in December 1975 [5] and peaked at No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and No. 1 in Canada on the RPM Country Singles chart.

The second North American single and third overall, "You've Got Me to Hold On To", was released in April 1976 [6] and peaked at No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and No. 3 in Canada on the RPM Country Singles chart.
