Review by Andrew Hamilton from allmusic.com

Big things were expected when Grand Rapids natives Bobby and Tommy
Debarge merged with Akronites Jody Sims, Gregory Williams, Eddie Fluellen
and Philip Ingram to form Switch. Switch was Fluellen, Ingram, Williams and
Sims' second shot at stardom; they had previously been part of White Heat,
which recorded an album for RCA Records that Barry White produced. A
beautiful trumpet, soaring three part harmonies, and romantic lyrics tenderly
sung by Bobby Debarge and Philip Ingram help to make "I Wanna Be Closer"
irresistible; the dazzling ballad was written and produced by Jermaine
Jackson. The bubbling "There Never Be" was the opposite, fast and full of
vocal gymnastics; the love vow became the first hit out the box for the young
men. A pounding "Best Beat in Town" fit right in with the times, drummer Jody
Sims co-wrote the mover with Bobby and Tommy, and can be heard adding
percussions to the pounding beat. "I Call Your Name" commands attention
every time it's played on "for lovers only" programs; Bobby Debarge's unique
scat singing is featured along with his mercurial falsetto, on the flowing, airy
number. Equally as compelling, is the slower "Love Over and Over," the
moving "You And I," a good wedding song, and the thumping, emphatic "I Do
Love You." Switch was bad, and that means good. It's about time Motown
dropped a good 18-plus-song CD on Switch like they did with Debarge.
