Things were pretty bleak for The Commodores by the time this late '80s set was issued. Lionel Richie and Thomas McClary were both long gone, and the recovery/momentum they'd generated from the single "Nightshift" had also dissipated. They didn't regenerate much interest through this one, mainly due to limp material and less than arresting vocals. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
