Originally issued as a double album, according to an Allmusic review of the album, the double-disc LP reflected the group's popularity at the time. The first single, the infectious "I Wanna Be With You", was the group's fifth number-one R&B hit. Also, 'It's a Disco Night (Rock Don't Stop) top twentied in the UK. Based on these strengths, the album went gold months within release.
