Well... is the first album by the American singer-songwriter and actress Katey Sagal. It was released in 1994 via Virgin Records.
The album peaked at No. 33 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart.
Critical reception
The Advocate thought that "in an attempt to endow the schmaltzy lyrics with as much sincerity as possible, Sagal emotes almost to the point of parody."
AllMusic wrote that "the problem with Well...'s lack of commercial success probably had to do with the fact that it was too smooth for blues fans and too bluesy for adult contemporary; of course, those are also its strengths."
