The New York Times called the album "a sometimes obscure but still evocative historical collage, full of verbal and musical references to America, France and Germany in the 1940's."[7] The Boston Globe noted the "Latin rhythms and black boogie woogie do wah's."[8] Newsday determined that "their musical combination has parts of Duke Ellington, the Pointer Sisters and Lambert, Hendricks and Ross updated for today's well-dressed disco-goer."[9]
All tracks are written by August Darnell and Stony Browder Jr.
