the only items of interest." Similarly the BBC review declared: "Gillespie has a decent voice and her songs are sincere if soppy. Producer Martin Terefe, who’s steered James Morrison, K.T. Tunstall and Jason Mraz to success, has dressed her trilling and strumming lightly, with soporific, innocuous, featureless arrangements and "tasteful" strings." Jon O'Brien from Allmusic gave the album a more favourable review, awarding it 3.5/5 stars. It complimented Gillespie's voice and original songs, but criticised the re-recorded "This Day" losing the simplicity of the original version, and her choice of covers, stating "Considering her success was built on her ability to write her own songs, it's disappointing that Stand Still also contains two rather pointless cover versions. They might not be the unimaginative "Unchained Melody"-style karaoke standards dumped on most X-Factor winners, but renditions of Bic Runga's "Drive" and Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's Oscar-winning duet "Falling Slowly," as respectful and competently performed as they are, offer nothing new on the originals." The album peaked at #14 in the UK and spent 3 weeks on the chart. This was Emma's Imagination's only album with the label, as Gary Barlow closed down Future Records in 2012, and Gillespie continued to record as an independent artist. Single releases "This Day" and "Focus" were released as singles during the time of her competing on the talent show, in acoustic guitar versions. These peaked at #10 and #7 in the UK singles chart, respectively. In November 2010, "Faerie Lights" was released as a promotional free download single on download sites as a teaser for the album. The first proper lead single for the album was the re-recorded "This Day", released a week prior to the album, and the final single was "Brighter Greener", released in March 2011.
