    The album is the second-to-last album of Stewart`s acclaimed 1970s albums, beginning with Atlantic Crossing and including the platinum-selling A Night on the Town. The album contains elements of hard rock ("Hot Legs"), funk rock ("You`re Insane"), and progressive rock via Motown ("You Keep Me Hanging On"), as well as Stewart`s usual ballads ("You`re in My Heart"). "I Was Only Joking" was the third of four singles released from the album.
