A moderately successful late-'70s album for Diana Ross. She was evolving into celebrity/stardom status, and her albums were increasingly filled with less soulful, more sophisticated, heavily produced and arranged ballads and light pop. She still sounded glorious on most of them, but now the edge, sensuality, and energy that had made her Motown songs classics was steadily eroding in favor of a more stylized, almost show-business kind of singing. (Ron Wynn)

Lukather: "Jeff Porcaro got me on this record. I was still living at home with mom and dad. Jeez... this was one of the first hits I played on."
