Bolton goes on to call "Momma's Waiting" a close cousin of Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" and states the album features songs that are much more pop slanted -on the whole- than any of Rogers' previous albums, but the album's best tracks still have an over-riding country sound.
According to Bolton, "Momma's Waiting" shares similarities with Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" and showcases songs that lean towards a pop style compared to Rogers' earlier work. However, the album's strongest tracks maintain a strong country essence.
