Her most personal effort to date, the album was met with critical praise, including from NPR, which opined, "Kelsea Ballerini is definitely one of the most influential women in country right now . . . she's defining the sound of the genre." The debut single from the album, "homecoming queen?," which the New York Times deemed "excellent," was certified platinum, marking her fastest single to achieve this milestone yet.

Her latest single from the release, "half of my hometown" features a special guest vocal appearance from eight-time Entertainer of the Year and fellow East Tennessee songwriter/superstar Kenny Chesney. While under quarantine, Ballerini created the second half of that story, ballerini. On this album, she carefully deconstructed each song from the kelsea album and rerecorded everything with minimal accompaniment. Coproducing the release, Ballerini showed another side of herself with this reimagined take, highlighting the lyrical power of kelsea as she stripped all of the songs down to the bare essentials.
