Reviews:
“Starting with the title track to their second LP, this is a straight greatest hits package. What this means is that you get the hits in single length form. The biggest example of this is "The World Is A Ghetto." Much is left out of this song and what you get is the meat and potatoes. That aside, this is some of the best R&B music of the 70's. It covers up to their last United Artist studio album, "Why Can't We Be Friends." If you can't find the latter double disc greatest hits then this is a good starter. But, be warned, you will want to hear more than just this hits." AllMusic Review by Bryan Adkins.
