The album also includes cover versions of hits by other artists, including "Lonesome 7-7203" by Hawkshaw Hawkins, "Act Naturally" by Buck Owens, George Jones' song "Color of the Blues" and "Why I'm Walking" by Stonewall Jackson.
Critical reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [2]In the issue dated December 21, 1963, Billboard published a review of the album which said, "Miss Lynn sings up a storm on this fine new album, on songs by both herself and various other good country writers. The ballad material, much of it steeped in the traditional heartache groove, includes such titles as "The Other Woman", "A Hundred Proof Heartache", "Color of the Blues", "Lonesome 7-7203", and "The Girl That I Am Now". It's powerful stuff, ably sung, and it can sell well.
