The review praises Little River Band's polished, professional vocal harmonies and melodic songwriting, singling out 'Take It Easy On Me' and 'Night Owls'. It notes impressive multi-part vocals and twin-lead guitar work. The rhythm section is criticized as unadventurous, leaving the band pleasant but not always compelling. The reviewer recommends Time Exposure (1981) as a good starting point.
