This album spawned &Let It Whip,& and contains a mixture of &Whip&-ish tracks and slow, tantalizing ballads. &Keep It Live& and &Whip& both feature throbbing basslines and spirited vocals. &Whip& is an unusual dance tune in that the song was successful but the dance never caught on. Lead Skip Martin displays his romantic skills on the shuffling &Gamble with My Love& and &Let Me Love You Until.& Despite the big hit, this is not the Dazz Band's best overall. Dazz was experiencing growing pains -- they wanted to produce themselves totally, but had to defer and follow Motown's suggestions on what the finished product should sound like.
