All members of the group contributed compositions to this album.

Chick Corea won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance, Individual or Group Grammy Award in 1975 for this album. "Flight of the Newborn" is Di Meola's first recorded composition. Stanley Clarke would later re-record "Dayride" with background vocals for his solo album, Modern Man, released in 1978.
