- GET RID OF THAT SAXOPHONE!!!!
The saxophone on most of these songs ruins what could have been great country songs if they had been produced in the traditional vein. I especially like the last cut "A New Love" and wish it had been released as a single. This is strange because I don't usually like Reba's fast songs but there was something really neat and catchy about this one. "Walk On" is good too except for that Saxophone!!! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- Great album shows Reba in happy mood
Reba's traditional country phase of the mid-eighties ended with this album, which signalled the start of a move to the pop-country sounds that brought Reba greater success in the nineties. Nevertheless, the production remains simple here so all but the most die-hard traditionalists can enjoy this.
This album opens with Reba's brilliant cover of Cathy's clown, the Everly Brothers classic, with the lyrics adjusted to present Cathy's perspective, giving it a slightly more upbeat feel. Not many people know this, but Reba actually recorded this after hearing an unreleased Dolly Parton recording. It seems that Dolly changed the lyrics but elected not to make her version available to the public. Dolly's version remains unreleased to this day.
You can hear an optimistic view of a sad situation in Till love comes again. A slightly sad song is It always rains on Saturday. Am I the only one who cares, Somebody up there likes me, You must really love me, Say the word, Little girl, Walk on and New love are all upbeat in mood although they vary in tempo.
This album, with so many upbeat songs and with even the sad songs not being especially sad, may lack the gravitas that a real tearjerker would give this album, but Reba has recorded plenty of those elsewhere. This is a good-time album with which to forget about all life's problems. As such, it is among my favorite Reba albums.

- THIS ONE HAD POSSIBILITIES
This one has some good stuff on it but not enough for me to give it more than 2 stars. "Cathy's Clown" is a good cover, something Reba usually don't do well. I also like "A New Love", "Walk On", and "It Always Rains on Saturday". The standout is "Till Love Comes Again". 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
- I Am Reba's Clown.
I Like This CD. The Songs Are Great On Here. She Did A Remake Of The 1960's Everly Brothers Hit "Cathy's Clown". I Like The Lyrics On That Song. Other Hits Included On Here Are: "Til Love Comes Again", "Little Girl" And "Walk On". Reba Fans, You Must Buy This CD Today. - The Best
This in my opinion is one of Reba's best CD's.
Not one bad thing about it
