This was inevitable because radio stations were reluctant to play formats outside their target audience's taste. By far the most popular style of music in the mid-1950s / mid-1960s was still the professional light orchestra, therefore popular recording artists sought that format. For many purists these popular versions lacked the raw earthiness of the original introducing artists. Most did not have the kudos that rebellious teenagers craved, the street credibility — of rock and roll music; most were performed, and some were written, by black artists not heard in popular mass entertainment markets. Most parents considered the bowdlerized popular cover versions more palatable for the mass audience of parents and their children.

Many media outlets, including the "Milwaukee Journal" and "Billboard" magazine, called them "confessional ballads", with an emotionally vulnerable narrator who wants true love but finds it unattainable.

The song was co-written by Chips Moman and Bobby Emmons who proposed the song to Jennings because his "name's in it." At the time of recording the song, neither the writers nor Jennings had ever been to Luckenbach. In his autobiography, Jennings wrote: "I knew it was a hit song, even though I didn't like it, and still don't." Jennings thought the song succeeded because "every state has a Luckenbach; a place to get away from things."

"Copy That" received a mixture of reviews from critics upon its release. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave the album only 2.5 out of 5 stars. Erlewine questioned Evans's originality as an artist on most of the song selections. ""Copy That" is a clever title for a covers album, but it also raises the question of whether these new cover versions are mere Xeroxes of the original," he commented. Erlewine did highlight "If I Can't Have You," "It's Too Late" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" as album highlights. "Rolling Stone" mentioned that some choices of material were "off the wall." Writer Jon Freeman highlighted the tracks "Come on Eileen" and "If I Can't Have You" as examples of this.

The album's cover was one of the few things that reflected an Outlaw theme in the album, featuring Anderson wearing a fur coat, while holding a silver-colored gun. Instead, the songs sounded more Country-pop, a version of country music that was also very popular at the time, giving country songs a more pop-edged sound it, by adding orchestral instruments and over-produced sound. Anderson's singles, especially "Isn't It Always Love", reflected this theme.
Outlaw Is Just a State of Mind | Introduction
After the critical success (albeit commercial failure) of the Dwight Twilley Band's first album, "Sincerely", hopes ran high for the second album. To capitalize on those hopes, Shelter Records reached a new distribution deal with Arista Records for the second album, which, unlike the first album, was demoed in advance. The band knew exactly which 10 songs that it wanted to record, and those were the only songs recorded in the final session. When the band experienced difficulty during its final production work on "Fallin' In Love", the album was released with only nine songs. The original cover was vetoed by Arista label head Clive Davis, who then chose the replacement cover that was ultimately used.
