From Dusty Groove:

Chess Records takes on the music of Burt Bacharach, with amazing results – thanks to deep soul vocals from The Dells and impeccable production from the legendary Charles Stepney! The album's a tremendous meeting of the minds, as The Dells really transform Bacharach's brilliant compositions – giving them depth and feeling in ways that are quite different from any other renditions of the songs. The arrangements by Stepney are incredible too – on a par with his famous work for Minnie Riperton, Rotary Connection, and Ramsey Lewis – as majestic as Burt Bacharach might have wanted, but with a very different approach, and a slight undercurrent of funk. Instrumentation is by Stepney, Phil Upchurch, and members of The Pharaohs – plus a full string section as well. Another baroque soul classic from the glory days of the Chicago soul scene!

• All songs written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
