"I don't know why Reba thought she could adequately cover "classic" hits made popular by others. I agree that it was like listening to Karaoke when I heard this. Reba herself has dismissed this effort as one other reviewer noted...and with good reason. It was embarrassing to listen to and it sure must have been embarrassing to her."

LETS DO KARAOKE, REBA!!

"If you want a good example of someone doing Karaoke, this is the CD for you!!! I've never heard anything like it my life. The worst cut, and one of the worst mistakes of Reba's recording career is her horrible rendition of "On My Own", a really horrible song not helped any by Reba's backups..Martina McBride and Linda Davis. Oh gosh, the rest of the tunes here nowhere near begin to give us the magic of the originals. THe less said about this debacle, the better."

STELLAR...THE QUEEN OUTSHINES ALL ORIGINALS!

"MANY PEOPLE go into this listening the wonderful stone country Reba that belts out classic hits like "Whoever's In New England" and "How Blue," but, my little chickens, this is not "Starting Over"'s reason for being. This is an album of little things that we call covers; in layman's, remakes of what CAN be any kind of music. We're not talking remakes of only Hank Sr. and Mel Tillis; these are remakes from anywhere that Miss Reba chose.
Reba delivers highlights on the tracks "On My Own" (wonderfully backed by Yearwood, McBride, and amazin' Davis), "You Keep Me Hangin On," and the absolute beauty of Dolly's "Starting Over Again." Some might say I have a soft spot for family songs, but one can't deny the sheer excellence of the title track plus a word.
Nice performances were turned in also on the triste "I Won't Mention It Again," "You're No Good," and Glen Campbell's "By The Time I Get To Phoenix."
Though the good ole boys may not be able to get past the word pop in this album's description, one should rest assured that anything that comes out of the Queen of Country's mouth won't be anything but one word; country!
5 stars."

Very entertaining

"One thing about this album, it's beautiful and easy to listen to, but it's just an album of remakes. Not only that, but most of the songs are literally karaoke of the original songs. One glaring exception, however, is her very nice remake of Dolly Parton's 1980 #1 Country hit and Donna Summer penned "Starting Over Again" (one of my favorites). Dolly's was great, but it sounds very dated by today's standards. Reba took hers to #19, but it still spent 20 weeks in the Country Top 100. As one of only two singles, the other a cover of Lee Greenwood's 1982 #5 Country Hit "Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands" (hers went to #9). If you really love Reba, you'll love this album. If you're curious what Reba sounds like doing one of the old songs, don't buy it for anything but the above two. If neither applies, this CD is probably worth skipping."
