"Leann Rimes is a very smart artist. On this double-sided cd single, she once again hooks up with the great Diane Warren. Let's deal with the first song "Big Deal". This pure country is a lot different that anything Leann has ever sung before. It's got a honkey-tonk sound to it, but it really doesn't showcase her amazing voice. However it's got a catchy melody that will truly score her a top ten hit at country radio. The other single "Leavings Not Leaving" written by the great Diane Warren, is the upcomming theme to the movie "Anywhere But Here". The song has a really good sound that gives it a little bit of an edge. It gives Leann a chance to extended her vocal range, still not to her full potiential. However the song is pure bliss. The lyrics are so increible. I have convinced my graduating class that this should be our graduation song as it really is something special. The song has the potiential to hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but only if the movie does well. One thing that is quite obvious, is that when Leann and Diane work together, magic happens!!!!!!"

This is a Big Deal.

"LeAnn Rimes is back. And better than ever. A new song, virtually new look, and new twang. "Big Deal" is a boppy, happy tune, and "Leaving's Not Leaving" is a beautiful ballad. Ms. Rimes is the cream of modern country."

Best work she's put out in a while!!!!
