Background
Caldwell signed a record deal with Vanguard Records and Capitol Records, and her debut album Without Regret was schedule to be released on April 6, 2010, but was delayed to a July 2010 release date due to the addition of three new songs: the single "Desperate Girls & Stupid Boys," "Naked" and "Hotter Without You," which replaced the songs "Cost of Love", "When I'm Not Around" and "Sleep While I Drive."
In December 2009, she released her first single "Mess of You" and in December 2010 she released "Desperate Girls & Stupid Boys." The video for "Desperate Girls & Stupid Boys" premiered on January 18, 2011 on VEVO.
Without Regret was delayed again to December 31 and after a fourth delay, the album was finally released on April 19, 2011, over a year after the original release date.
Release
After the album was released, it charted at number seven on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart, selling 3,000 copies on its debut week.
Reception
The album received negative reviews. AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars, writing: "Without Regret is designed as a reminder -- a full-blown, air-brushed, impeccably manicured collection of power ballads and updated arena rock designed to showcase Caldwell's strut. Frequently, all these machinations just wind up playing like a straitjacketed, tempered-down Kelly Clarkson, retaining the oversized production but lacking the gargantuan hooks or personality, for that matter." Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine gave the album's rating a 1.5 out of 5 stars, writing: "Something that Caldwell struggled with during her time on American Idol was with song selections, and Without Regret is undone by some frankly awful songwriting. ... Still, Caldwell does her damndest to sell the terrible material with conviction and sincerity. Her voice is actually interesting: Her husky alto has a heavy rasp, and she displays quite a bit of power in her lower register."
