The album features a mix of Mason's signature melodic style with experimental elements like funk, disco, and calypso, backed by a tight band including David Crosby, Graham Nash, and The Manhattan Transfer on vocals. Critics noted it as a departure from his earlier blues rock sound, with tracks like the funky Split Coconut and the Buddy Holly cover Crying, Waiting Hoping showcasing his versatility. Historically, the album reflects Mason's attempt to diversify his sound during the mid-1970s, a period when he maintained a high profile.
