The album's first single, "Backseat of a Greyhound Bus", reached number 16 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Despite the rather low chart performance of the first single, the album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and at number 20 on the Billboard 200 chart after selling 44,283 copies in its first week. The album's second single, "Perfect", fared better and reached number 2. "Suds in the Bucket", the third single, became a signature song for Evans, having reached number one on the country charts, making Restless her third consecutive album to contain a number one single. The fourth single, "Tonight", charted just outside the country Top 40 at number 41.
