A superb album, arguably their finest, though not their biggest, crossover work. The Spinners teamed with Thom Bell and outpaced Motown with this album of glorious anthems. "I'll Be Around" and "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" ended any discussions, mentions, or even thoughts of their former lead singer G.C. Cameron, as Philippe Wynne was emerging as the king of immaculate, sophisticated soul. They had three R&B chart-toppers from this album and were now dominating the Motown acts they once idolized.
