This album was significant in that it brought out the maturation and growth of members Damon Harris and Richard Street as worthy replacements for original members Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams. Highlights include a phenomenal arrangement of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", "Masterpiece", "Love Woke Me Up This Morning", "Just My Imagination", "Hey Girl (I Like Your Style)" and "Papa Was A Rolling Stone", for years the only track to be available for release in the United States. The group harmonies and arrangements of band director Cornelius Grant are tight. One of the group's better live albums, along with 1967's The Temptations Live featuring the classic lineup, and 1970's Live at London's Talk of The Town, which featured Dennis Edwards and Eddie Kendricks in its lineup.
