In January 2001, Curb Records released another compilation of previously recorded material, "I Need You". The album topped the Top Country Albums chart for one week, and also peaked at No. 10 on the "Billboard" 200. "I Need You" did not garner praise from many critics and was mainly given negative reviews. "Rolling Stone" gave the album two and a half out of five stars and called the album, "synthetic-feeling". Despite very little praise from critics, the album sold well, and was certified "Gold" in sales by the RIAA. Rimes would later go on to publicly disown the album, which she stated was compiled from studio outtakes her father had produced and that it was released without her knowledge or input. At the time, during the litigation with her label Curb, Rimes was asking that Curb give her the rights to all past recordings and videos, give up all publishing interests in her compositions, and destroy all currently available recordings.
