"If you are a fan of You make me feel, Over and over and Disco Heat (come on get up everybody)club favourites I suggest you check this album out. Apart from the tracks mentioned there are other funk/disco tracks, slower funk/soul/gospel tracks and some worthy well arranged ballards. The famous weather girls (Two tons of fun) are present backing sylvester and taking the lead locals on other tracks. Some of the vocal harmonies are second to none and the overall well produced feel good sound of these back to back albums is uplifting. A must for anyone into soul/funk/disco."

Sublime soul & disco

"Sylvester created the most delectable, passionate disco and soul music in the late 70s and early 80s. He had a wonderful falsetto voice carried along on the most infectious dance beats or wrapping itself around the most smoldering ballads. In the late 1970s he was as popular as Donna Summer and a permanent fixture on the dance charts. Over And Over and Never Too Late are superb, but the two immortal dance tracks here are of course the pulsating Dance (Disco Heat) and the soaring You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real). They are two of the most sublime dance tracks ever laid down: very melodic, hypnotic music with a gospel undertone. Sylvester had the soul of the Staple Singers, the funk of James Brown and the tunes to match.
