Production
As with the band's debut, Two Sevens Clash, the album was recorded in Kingston at the studio of Joe Gibbs, who also produced the album.[6]
The band accompanying the trio was The Professionals, which included musicians such as Sly and Robbie, Tommy McCook, and Bobby Ellis.
Critical reception
AllMusic called the album "a true reggae classic," writing that "listeners are reminded of the impact that the Delfonics, the Impressions and other soul favorites had on reggae."[1] Record Collector praised the "outrageously brutal" dub version of the album.[7]
