This album was a clear hint to where her career was going to in terms of style, she would later follow a stronger R&B sound with her later follow up albums after signing with Elektra Records label If you were into the Jazz "Fusion" movement of the 70's it was big. Got a lot of airplay of black college radio stations like Howard University (WHUR) and Morgan State University's station etc. This and two albums before was when she was still into her Jazz instrumental roots. After this album she went commercial and R&B. She can play and compose with the best of them to this day.
