Review by Craig Lytle from allmusic.com

Con Funk Shun's second album for Phonogram/Mercury, Secrets catapulted
the group to national acclaim. The Vallejo, CA, natives presented a balance of
songs featuring the smash single "Ffun," which hit the top of the R&B charts
and also made the pop Top 40. That single was followed by
"ConFunkShunizeYa"; with a catchy hook and swinging horns, it peaked at
number 31. With the success of these two singles, the septet's name became
popular among R&B lovers. Even though there were just two singles that
charted from this album, any one of the tracks from this diverse collection
could have easily made it to the charts. The title track is a laid-back, midtempo
composition; "Indian Summer Love" is an uptempo instrumental utilizing the
synthesizer technology of its day. Also, there are a few mellow compositions
on this album, the first being "Who Has the Time," a social indictment of the
public at large featuring Felton Pilate's resonating tenor. "Tears in My Eyes"
showcases Pilate and Michael Cooper in an emotionally charged lyric, and "I'll
Set You Out O.K." highlights Cooper's tenor and Pilate's falsetto in unison,
rounded out by Paul Harrell's jazzy saxophone.
