Smoother, less Motown-ish sounding, some cuts arranged in a Vegas mode. But I think Martha's voice is great on this album. I love her virbrato on "I'm in Love" and "Love, Guess Who," though I remember when I played it for friends they were sometimes put off by her vocal techniques. But I still think it's a great album, and only topped by their last "Black Magic!"
