"
What I Am" was the
lead single and big hit from the album, reaching #7 on the
Billboard Hot 100.[1] The follow-up single, "Circle", was about strained relationships.[2] Although described by author Brent Mann as "the perfect follow up single to 'What I Am'" and which "had 'smash' written all over it", it stalled at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 and fared slightly better on the BillboardMainstream Rock chart, reaching #32.[1][3]Cash Box said of "Circle" that "The key to this gentle song is Brickell’s breathy intensity. Supported by an acoustic-slanted track, she manages to sell the unusually dark lyric shadings."[4] Another song from the album, "Little Miss S." was inspired by
Edie Sedgwick and reached #38 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #14 on the
Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1][2]
"Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars is almost impossible to be cynical about (I tried)," remarked Time Out, "and the band are so likeable it's almost unreal."[7]
