History

Rogers had not charted a country hit since "If You Want to Find Love" in late 1991-early 1992. "The Greatest," his first release on his own label, brought him to the charts for the first time in nearly eight years, spending twenty weeks on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts and peaked at 26. After it came "Slow Dance More" at 67, followed by "Buy Me a Rose," with backing vocals from Alison Krauss and Billy Dean. This song went to Number One on the country charts and number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Rogers his first Number One since 1987. The song also made Rogers, who was 61 at the time, the oldest country artist to achieve a Number One hit.

Critical reception

Giving it three stars out of five, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic considered it a stronger album than Rogers' 1998 Across My Heart and a return to his 1980s sound, but said that some of the song selection was "uneven."
