Background and content
editNo Love at All was recorded at the Columbia Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. The sessions took place in April 1970 and were produced by Glenn Sutton.[2] Anderson had recently married Sutton and he began producing her music following her signing with Columbia Records in 1970.[3] The album was a collection of 11 tracks. It included two compositions written by her mother, Liz Anderson. One of these compositions, "All Day Sucker," had been a minor hit for her mother in 1970.[1] The album also included cover versions of songs first recorded by other artists. This included Conway Twitty's "Hello Darlin'," Ferlin Husky's "Heavenly Sunshine," Wanda Jackson's "A Woman Lives for Love" and Ernest Tubb's "Tomorrow Never Comes."[2]

He called the album "a lost gem of early 1970's Countrypolitan," and highlighted several tracks on the album. "No Love at All reminds the listener that she is a formidable talent whose work deserves to be re-examined," he concluded.[1] The title track was the only single released from the album.
