In 1978, despite their music's recent feature in Saturday Night Fever, Kool & the Gang were "at a low point"[3] of commercial decline.[4]
The Rolling Stone wrote that the band struggled to maintain its relevance in the disco world, despite a prominent horn section.[3] Speaking of the circa-1978 era, drummer George "Funky" Brown stated, "We tried our version of disco. It didn't work."[3]
The Detroit Free Press opined that "Kool and the Gang have gone bland," noting that "they've joined the disco lemmings...The edge has gone".[5]
