"The Army" was released as the second single from the album on 31 August 2010.
Jon O'Brien from AllMusic rated the album 4.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Her uptempo tracks, then, are infinitely far more appealing than her slower numbers, but she possesses the kind of voice that's just aching for a heartfelt love song that would make her Eurovision disaster a distant memory. With Yours Sincerely, Bergendahl doesn't score on that front, but there's enough potential here to suggest that in the future she will." [3]
