Singles

The lead single from the album,"This is My Life", was released on 28 February 2010. Anna Bergendahl performed the song in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 representing Sweden, she failed to qualify for the final scored 62 points and finished 11th. "The Army" was released as the second single from the album on 31 August 2010.

Critical reception

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic rated the album 4.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Her uptempo tracks, then, are infinitely far more appealing than her slower numbers, but she possesses the kind of voice that's just aching for a heartfelt love song that would make her Eurovision disaster a distant memory. With Yours Sincerely, Bergendahl doesn't score on that front, but there's enough potential here to suggest that in the future she will."[3]
