Bryan made his debut as a singer with the single "All My Friends Say". Released in 2007, it peaked at number five on the Billboard country music charts.[2] Bryan co-wrote the song with Lonnie Wilson and Jeff Stevens, the latter of whom also produced the album. Following as singles were "We Rode in Trucks" and "Country Man". "We Rode in Trucks" is Bryan's lowest-charting single, reaching number 33 on Hot Country Songs.[2] "Country Man" peaked at number ten.[2]
Thom Jurek of AllMusic rated the album three stars out of five, stating that "Despite the calculating, swing for the fences nature of Bryan's debut, he is genuinely gifted, and executes nearly flawlessly."[3] Michael Sudhalter of Country Standard Time gave the album a mostly positive review, stating that Bryan "proves his versatility on an album that combines twangy vocals and fiddles with catchy melodies."[1]
