Dimension Records was a label founded by Raven's then-manager.[1] Ray Pennington produced the album, with further production from Ronnie Gant on "Dealin' with the Devil", "Sweet Mother Texas", and "Another Texas Song".[2]
Five songs from the album reached the Hot Country Singles chart between 1979 and 1980: "Sweet Mother Texas" at number 44, "Dealin' with the Devil" at number 25, "You've Got Those Eyes" at number 30, "Another Texas Song" at number 34, and "Peace of Mind" at number 23.[3] Dimension promoted "Dealin' with the Devil" by shipping videocassettes of Raven performing the song to various radio stations surveyed by Billboard.[4] Record World published positive reviews of "Another Texas Song" and "Peace of Mind", calling the former a "plucky, self-penned tune that displays more of his writer-artist talents",[5] while calling him "one of the smoothest country singers around" in a review of the latter.[6]
Merle Haggard covered "Dealin' with the Devil" on his 1981 live album Rainbow Stew Live at Anaheim Stadium,[7] and Waylon Jennings covered "Sweet Mother Texas" on his 1986 album Sweet Mother Texas.[8]
