Throughout, Strait uses twangy instrumentation to create country music out of pop songs, as on the island-sounding "I Just Want to Dance With You," the impossibly catchy "True," the bluesy "Remember the Alamo," and the pop-rocking Mavericks-sound-alike "We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This." One Step at a Time does have one thing in common with previous Strait albums, though: it's one of the year's finer mainstream country efforts. --David Cantwell« less

Still Great Music

"This CD has recieved some average reviews because supposedly, George has strayed from traditional roots. Maybe so, but this CD still has great music worhty of buying. We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This, I Just Wanna Dance With You, Why Not Now, and especially Maria are my favorites. I listen to every song everytime its played, dont skip a one! George hasn't strayed, he's adapting and keeping it country at the same time! He will allways be King of Country. This CD is worth buying and deserves a rank of five stars not one. Alot of great music! Dont wait to buy the greatest hits CD there are so many songs that make it a must buy! You will miss out on so much good music. Keep up the good work George."

"One Step At A Time Is The Same Name For "One Night At A Time" Which Appears On The "Carrying Your Love With Me" Album. The Dance Tune "I Just Wanna Dance With You" Became A Number 1 Hit. The Songs I Like On This CD Are: "True" And "We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This". You Won't Be Dissipointed With This CD."
Not the typical George Strait album, but not bad

"I bought One Step At A Time because I couldn't get enough of the song, "True." I also liked the hits "I Just Wanna Dance With You" and "We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This." However, after listening to the rest of the songs, I sort of thought that this album wasn't the typical George Strait album; especially not when you compare it to some of the other great ones such as Carrying Your Love With Me and Blue Clear Sky. The only songs I liked other than the 3 hits were the title track and "Remember The Alamo." I thought the rest of the songs were just mediocre and not up to the usual George Strait standard. Overall, if you're a George Strait fan, I would recommend getting this album. But if you only get a few of his albums, this is not one of his best."
"Wanna Dance" - a classic!

"The title song makes the album worth trying, worth buying. I am not much of a country fan, but this album re-ignites my interest."
