Produced by Tony Ferguson, the album was recorded at Studio 55, in Los Angeles.[7][8][9] The Jackson 5 were also recording at the studio; Carrasco became friendly with Michael and asked him to contribute harmony vocals to "Don't Let A Woman (Make A Fool Out Of You)".[9][10] Some of the album's songs were cowritten with keyboardist Kris Cummings.[11]
Critical reception[]
Robert Christgau wrote that "nothing drags, nothing protrudes, and the Zorba solo and reggae number could come off a Sam the Sham album."[3]The Oklahoman deemed the album "a mixture of danceable Tex-Mex melodies, Jamaican rhythms and Carrasco's energetic vocals centered around an old fashioned Farfisa organ."[12]Texas Monthly thought that Carrasco's "music has an edge on most New Wave: his sound is positive, humorous, and upward-moving."[11]
