Content

[edit]

The Fun of Your Love charted two singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in 2000: the title track at number 31, and "What If It's Me" at number 67.[1]

Critical reception

[edit]

Rating it four out of five stars, Maria Konicki Dinoia of AllMusic praised the selection of songwriters such as Beth Nielsen Chapman, and compared Day's voice favorably to Martina McBride.[2] Jeffrey B. Remz of Country Standard Time was less favorable, considering Day's musical image imitative of other artists and also writing, " the music contains lots of loud guitars and drums to power the glossy sounding songs...and very little of a country sound."[3]
