Artists such as Philip Bailey appeared upon the album.[2]

The lead single, "Catchin' Up on Love" peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart.[4]

Critical reception

[edit]

Andrew Hamilton of AllMusic found "Producer Philip Bailey couldn't help tossing in some Earth, Wind & Fire vibes and grooves...Nine songs, three more than 20th Century tacked on their debut (album), makes this more fulfilling than the first, but not by much."[1]
