review from allmusic.com
[-] by Craig Lytle

There are three elements that can always be found on the Ohio Players'
albums that were released during their heyday: funky tracks, hyped ballads
and sexually suggestive album covers. This LP is no different, featuring three
releases in "Body Vibes," "O-H-I-O" and "Merry Go Round." The first and last
peaked at 19 and 77 respectively on the Billboard R&B charts. The second of
the three is an uptempo cut, in which the song's title is the only lyric; it is
repeated in a whispery chant in the verse and the word itself is sung
throughout the chorus. This formula proved successful as the single cracked
the Top Ten at number nine inside of 18 weeks. It was also the last Top Ten
single for the Dayton, Ohio funk aggregate. "Angel," the title track, and "Can
You Still Love Me" were not released, but are classic Ohio Players
compositions. "Angel" is a mid-tempo number honed with dancing rhythms and
piercing horns that Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner shrouds with his trademark
baritone, complemented by superb background vocals. Bonner maintains that
same vocal appeal on "Can You Still Love Me," leaving room for falsetto-
flavored background vocals that are creatively arranged.
