Edward McGhee turned in mostly above-average performances on their
first post-Lenny Williams release, but it was the beginning of the
end. With funk losing its foothold among R&B audiences, they
couldn’t keep it together. McGhee was an energetic, exuberant
vocalist who held his own on up-tempo tunes like «You Ought to Be
Havin’ Fun» and the title song, but lacked Williams’ range or tonal
quality on ballads. The group always had a weakness for ponderous
message cuts, and «Can’t Stand to See the Slaughter» and «While We
Went to the Moon» were well-intentioned but clumsy tracks. This was
almost the Tower of Power’s swan song. — Ron Wynn
