One cut from the album, Garth Brooks' rendition of "To Make You Feel My Love," reached No. 1 on the Billboard country singles charts in August 1998. This song also appeared on a re-release of Brooks's 1995 album Fresh Horses which was included in his 1998 box set The Limited Series.

The Bob Seger-Martina McBride duet "Chances Are" peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart in 1998. Lila McCann's "To Get Me to You" was also released as a radio single, but did not chart. Paul Davis's 1981 single "Cool Night," which reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981, is also included on the album.

A remastered and expanded soundtrack was released on April 24, 2007, featuring an additional six tracks but removing Brooks's song.

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album four stars out of five, calling it "an excellent collection of contemporary country and rootsy mainstream pop."
