After Gracin was dropped by his previous record label, [[Lyric Street Records]], in early 2009, Gracin began working independently on his third studio album. During that time, he released a couple of songs to country radio, but they failed to chart. In January 2010, Gracin signed with [[Average Joe's Entertainment]], and his first single under Average Joe's, "Cover Girl," was released in August 2010. It charted briefly on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Hot Country Songs]] chart, reaching a peak of number 57. "Long Way to Go" was released as a single to [[Adult Contemporary (chart)|Adult Contemporary]] radio, and became Gracin's first single to be promoted to the format, and has since reached the Top 20.

Thom Jurek of AllMusic was mixed on the record overall, praising tracks like "Long Way to Go" and "Only When It Rains" as highlights and commending the various musicianship from Gracin's road band but felt the track listing needed a few songs cut for length. He concluded that "Ultimately, Gracin is betting a lot on Redemption; each self-penned song reaches for a certain niche in the contemporary country genre, trying to cover all the bases programmers desire [...] whether this kitchen-sink approach results in garnering new ones is indeed a gamble."[2]
