Mark Wills later recorded "Sudden Stop" on his 1996 self-titled debut.

CD Review reviewed the album favorably, stating that "The clever lyrics and unpretentious musicianship on Red, White, & Blue Collar are so reminiscent of a juke joint on a Saturday night that you can almost smell the sawdust on the floor."[2]
