Background

The album signaled a change in direction for Daily from synthpop to pop-rock.[1] The album's lead single, "Some People,"[2] peaked at No. 33 on the US Billboard Dance Music/Club Play Singles Chart.[3] "Heart Don't Lie" was released as the second and final single, but as a promotional-only release.[4] After A&M failed to sufficiently promote the album, Daily parted ways with the label.[5] She wouldn't release another album until 1999's Tearing Down the Walls.[6]

The track "Cry Just a Little" was later covered by Celine Dion. She recorded it for her 1992 eponymous album, but the song was not added to the final track list.[7] Instead, it was used as a B-side on certain editions on the "Love Can Move Mountains" single. "This Time" and "Heart Don't Lie," appeared in the American NBC hit television series California Dreams, and were also released on the California Dreams (Soundtrack) CD by MCA Records (1992).[8]

AllMusic[9]

Cash Box published two reviews of the album during 1989. The first commented: "We weren't prepared for the smokey sensuality of her blues-dance-pop-jazz song stylings. Who are we to say that she's not better than Madonna? With her alternating twang, bop and dancefloor inflections, she's certainly more diverse. And her more-than-just-kittenish personality comes through loud and clear."[10] The second commented: "E.G. Daily offers us soulful, bluesy rock, with a little country twang to make things interesting. This is not your average, radio-ready, girl-pop. It's a little deeper than that. Daily touches on many subjects, and comes off with an album that is certainly well written and worthy of praise.[11] Ivan Brunet of the Nanaimo Daily News wrote: "On this new offering Daily's opted for a mainstream pop sound. The young lady has reached a level of artistry where labels no longer apply."[12]
