Shiver is the first country album by the country music artist Jamie O'Neal. Released on October 31, 2000, the album reached its peak of number 14 on the U.S. Top Country Albums chart and number 125 on the Billboard 200. It was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000. The album was released through Mercury Nashville Records. Five singles were released from Shiver, the first two ("There Is No Arizona" and "When I Think About Angels") managed to reach number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

The album included a duet with the country singer Mark Wills, who also recorded for Mercury at the time. The track, "I'm Not Gonna Do Anything Without You", was released as a single for Wills, and reached number 31 on the country charts. The song is also available on Wills' studio album, Loving Every Minute.

After the release of this album, O'Neal recorded a second album for Mercury, entitled On My Way to You. Although its lead-off single peaked at number 34 in 2003, the album was not released and O'Neal exited Mercury. She then signed to Capitol Records Nashville to release her next album, Brave (2005).

Critical reception

Rick Cohoon of Allmusic rated the album four stars out of five, praising O'Neal's voice and the first two singles, but said that the rest of the album "lacks the polish of the pros".
