Buck Owens, Young's guitarist, wanted to sing on the album. Young declined the request, because he feared losing Owens to a solo career, but eventually helped to sign him after listening to a demo.[2]
Billboard wrote that the album included "pretty standards ... done up with poppish, slightly rocking backings."[4]
