Measured success
All three previously unreleased songs on the Reflections: Greatest Hits compilation were released as a single. The first, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" was released in advance of the album and had been on the "Hot Country Singles & Tracks" chart for 11 weeks when the album debuted. The second single, "Back in Your Arms Again", was released on August 28, 1995. They peaked at numbers 1 and 4 on the Billboard "Hot Country Singles & Tracks" chart respectively. "Standing Tall", a cover of Billie Jo Spears' 1980 single, was released in September 1995 and peaked at 32 in early 1996.
The rest of the album consists of two hits from Leave the Light On, three from Something in Red, two from Watch Me, and the #13 duet with Morgan's then husband Keith Whitley, "'Til a Tear Becomes a Rose", which originally appeared on Whitley's own Greatest Hits album in 1990. Reflections peaked at #5 on the "Top Country Albums" chart and #46 on the U.S. "Billboard 200" album chart.
