The album was re-released on February 9, 2010 to include two new tracks, "This Is Our Moment" and "Ain't Back Yet". The former was used by the television network ESPN as a college football theme and peaked at number 46 based on unsolicited airplay, while the latter was released to radio as the album's single in February 2010.[2]

For unknown reasons, several hits, including the number-one singles "Don't Blink", "Better as a Memory", and "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" were excluded from this album.

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, reviewing the album for Allmusic, gave it four stars out of five. He said that the album was stronger than his last two studio albums because it did not contain as many laid-back songs. Erlewine also called "Out Last Night" an "amiable day-after shuffle."[1]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200[3] and number one on the US Top Country Albums in its first week of release.[4] On November 27, 2012, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) selling over a million copies in the United States.[5] As of April 2017, the album has sold 1,343,500 copies in the United States.[6]
