Amazon.com essential recording
Reba McEntire made her first real mark as a recording artist with a pair of roots-oriented mid-1980s albums: My Kind of Country and Have I Got a Deal for You. But always the musical chameleon, she soon outgrew this retro niche and set out to conquer the mainstream. Whoever's in New England marked the beginning of the singer's gradual transition from honky-tonk rodeo gal to sophisticated contemporary country-pop diva. New England particularly hits the mark that quite a few of McEntire's subsequent albums miss with its natural balance between the down-home countrified charm of cuts like "Little Rock" and the more sophisticated country-pop urbanity of songs like the title tune. Whoever's In New England proved to be McEntire's long-awaited commercial breakthrough, as well, and the first of her many million-selling albums. --Bob Allen

Reba Whoever's in New England November 16, 2008
The CD was really great. I was happy to get it. I had listened to the record as a child on cassette and was happy to find it on CD.
THIS IS THE REBA I LOVE...NO FLUFF HERE!! September 29, 2005
The outside of the CD says it all....pure country music right down to the soul. This CD is definitely a keeper and all the songs on it are pure gold!! Reba should have stuck to doing stuff like this. George Strait and Patty Loveless have remained true to stuff like this and they're still making and winning awards for their records. They are evergreens in the industry because they never compromised the way Reba did. That said, I say enjoy this CD because its one of the few CDs in the traditional vein that defines her persona!!
CLASSIC COUNTRY!! September 18, 2005

One look at the gorgeous cover and you know its going to be "real country" you're listening to!! This is one CD you should judge by its cover because its just as beautiful inside as it is on the outside. Reba rarely does better than she did here!!! My favorite song on here is "You Can Take the Wings off Me" followed by "If You Only KNew". But the entire release is perfection!
SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!! September 15, 2005
If this was Reba's first million selling album it was for good reason! No filler here at all! One of the best she ever did. I still recall hearing "Whoever's In New England" for the first time and I was mesmerized. The rest of the songs on here could easily have been hits as well. A well deserved 5 star rating!
Reba's first million selling album February 14, 2004
Having recorded four ultra-traditional country albums (My kind of country, Have I got a deal for you, The last one to know, Merry Christmas to you), Reba began to move back towards pop-country with this album, although this is still a solidly traditional country album compared to most of Reba's music. This album features electric guitars and drums but is otherwise a very traditional country album.There are two up-tempo songs here - Little Rock (the second single off the album, after the title track) and I can't stop now. Both are excellent. One thin dime is a wonderful mid-tempo song. The seven ballads are all brilliant but the title track is by far the most famous. One reviewer suggested it was about an intelligent woman waiting for her executive husband to come home and suggested that this is not another of those stand-by-your-man songs. Actually, it sounds to me as though the woman in the song is standing by her man, knowing that he's up to no good in New England, even if he is an executive. Reba obviously believes this too, having once said that she wouldn't put up with a man like the one in the song. Nevertheless, Reba recorded it because it's a great song. So it proved, becoming one of her signature songs. This is definitely an album for country fans who like to hear her sing traditional country music.
