Review by Craig Lytle from allmusic.com

This was unlike any album Con Funk Shun had recorded to date. Not only did
the group contribute minimal writing, but the only production credit was the
uncharted single "Turn the Music Up." Intending to try something new without
forsaking their appeal and sound, the group solicited various producers, even
though group members Felton Pilate and Michael Cooper were credited as
arrangers on a couple of selections. And after nearly a two-year absence
from the R&B Top Ten, the group returned with the number four single
"Electric Lady," with veteran producer Larry Smith at the helm. The
synthesized single is basically a rap song, led by Michael Cooper's monotone
vocals. During its time, it was one of the closest any R&B group had come to
recording a rap song. The follow-up, "I'm Leaving Baby," was an urbanized
ballad featuring Cooper's lead vocals. Electric Lady also spawned the number
47 single "Tell Me What You're Gonna Do." With its electronic synthesizer
approach, the Felton Pilate-led single was also produced by Smith. This album
is full of competent selections; any one of them, such as "Pretty Lady" and
"Don't Go," would have been a wise choice as a release.
