Cackett of Country Music People magazine gave it an unfavorable review in 1978: "Too many of the slow ballads, which dominate the album, sink into sameness, as Billie Jo and producer Larry Butler work too closely toward the pop crossover market," he commented." Chart performance and singles If You Want Me entered America's Billboard Top Country Albums chart in July 1977. It spent only five weeks on the chart, peaking at number 39 later in the month. It was Spears's final album to reach the country albums top 40. Two singles were spawned from the disc.
