POWERFUL!!

"In true Reba fashion, "It's Your Call" is loaded with powerful and emotional songs and the title track is NO exception! The story of a woman who discovers her husband is cheating and gives him an ultimatum. Also there's the Reba standards "Take It Back" and "The Heart Won't Lie" which was the #1 SMASH duet with Vince Gill! The album tracks are amazing also...including "For Herself", "He Wants To Get Married", & "Will He Ever Go Away"! One of the highlights is the spunky tale of young love titled "One Last Good Hand"! This album is another stunning jewel in Reba's crown!"
NOT BAD COMPARED TO SOME OF HER OTHER STUFF

"I pulled this out recently (I bought it when it was first released and I found it gathering dust in my CD collection). I listened to it again and you know, its really not bad. In fact, there are quite a few good songs on it, namely the title track, "The Heart Won't Lie", and "Latest Shade of Blue". I, however, cannot take "Take It Back". I detest that song which is probably why the CD has been gathering dust. A lot of Reba's attempts to do "sassy" uptempo tunes fall short because she comes off arrogant and witch-like. She doesn't have the charm to do that "you wrong me you better watch it" stuff because, unfortunately, it comes to close to her own personality. I have seen the woman rake people over the coals both at concerts and in other public places when she's crossed. You DO NOT want to mess with her. That said, this is a decent album (with the exception of the wretched TAKE IT BACK>>UGGGH) and is a decent follow up to "For My Broken Heart". One shouldn't compare it to that though because nothing could ever top that one. But this one stands on its own. Its got some good stuff on it...not like her later stuff like "If You See Him" CD which in my opinion has to be the WORST she's ever done. That one has only ONE good song on it and for the prices we have to pay for music today, that's just not worth it."
A BLAND AND BORING CD

"Only one song stands out: "A Lighter Shade of Blue". Its the only good song on here. The rest of the songs like "Take it Back", "It's Your Call", and "Straight From You" (which is almost the same in melody, tempo and lyric as "It's Your Call) are just bland. "He Want's to Get Married" could have been good but Reba sounds extremely bored singing this. "One Good Hand" is the worst cut on the CD...just awful. This is one of her least worthwhile projects."
