Released in October 1981, this would be their only album for SOLAR Records label. It also reunited them with older brother and former member Leon Sylvers III as he was working for SOLAR at the time.
The album's two singles were not as successful, with "Come Back, Lover, Come Back" reaching #63 on Billboard's dance singles chart and "Take It to the Top" failing to chart.
