Singles

"The Greatest," his first release on his own label, brought him to the country charts for the first time in nearly eight years, spending twenty weeks on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts and peaking at 26. [1]

"Slow Dance More" was the album's second single released, peaking at number 67 on the same chart, followed by "Buy Me a Rose," with backing vocals from Alison Krauss and Billy Dean which went to number one on the country charts and number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Rogers his first number one since 1987, and the last number one of his career. The song also made Rogers, who was 61 at the time, the oldest country artist to achieve a number one hit. [2]

Critical reception

Giving it three stars out of five, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic considered it a stronger album than Rogers' 1997 album Across My Heart and a return to his 1980s sound, but said that some of the song selection was "uneven." [3]
