Reba not only signaled to the world that Reba McEntire had by now become so well known that she could be identified by first name alone, but also signaled an entirely different style to her music. Gone were the steel guitars and fiddles of My Kind of Country and Have I Got a Deal for You, to be replaced by highly produced and orchestrated numbers that were country pop at best. Not that this would diminish her album sales any at all, as it was another #1 country album again (her third). Very typically, two of its tracks reached #1 on the Billboard country singles charts: "I Know How He Feels" and "New Fool at an Old Game." Another tune, a remake of an old jazz vocal standard made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, "Sunday Kind of Love," reached the #5 spot. Also covered is "Respect," a song made famous by Aretha Franklin.
