Review by Craig Lytle from allmusic.com

Many groups lose the steam that propelled them to the top; Earth, Wind &
Fire, contemporary sound and all, were still blazing when this album was
released. "Fall in Love With Me" was the first single. With its festive rhythm
and sauntering vocals, it became a number four hit on the Billboard R&B
charts and a number 17 pop hit. The percolating single "Side by Side" was the
second release. The precise horns, sensuous female backing vocals, and
Maurice White's animated vocals make this an entertaining piece. Though it
should have fared better, it settled in at number 15 on the R&B charts. The
final release was "Spread Your Love." The sonically aggressive special effects
are contrasted with a soothing chanting chorus. The single peaked at 57. All
three of the above feature Maurice White on lead. Throughout the entire
album, White's unifying message is fueled by the aggressive rhythms and
relaxing melodies.
