Overview

Following her success with the album Time for Change, released the previous year, Moten returned to the studio to record her fourth album. She co-wrote two of the tracks as well as featuring on the production, in addition to her usual vocal duties. The album failed to have any success in her native US but its title track was another smash hit when released as a single in Japan, reaching number 1.

Reception

AllMusic's Alex Henderson gave the album 2 stars out of 5, and called the album "a generally respectable, if slightly uneven, sophomore outing for the Memphis singer".
