Critical reception
[edit]Thom Jurek of Allmusic praised this album saying, "The 14 tracks here are the proof in the pudding that while with Columbia, E,W&F created a body of seductive, sophisticated, warm, bubbling soul that moved their body/mind continuum in a singular fashion from 1975 to 1983."[1]
