Brian Wilson`s psychologist Eugene Landy, who was originally awarded co-writing credits on Wilson`s songs, stated in a contemporary interview, "I`m practically a member of the band [...] Brian`s got the talent to make the music. [...] He`s the creator. The other band members are just performers. So I`m the one who`s making the album."[5]
Among the guest musicians, Ringo Starr played drums on "California Calling", while Stevie Wonder played most of the instruments on "I Do Love You".[6]

Critical reaction was mixed.[12] Writing in Rolling Stone, Parke Puterbaugh called the album `pretty entertaining`, adding `though not a world-beating act of artistic reassertion, the LP does serve to showcase those amazing voices, and to remind the world that nobody does it better—still.`[13]
Levine reflected that he had remained "immensely proud" of the album and lamented its poor sales.[12]
Eugene Landy originally received co-writer`s credit for all Brian Wilson compositions. This credit was omitted starting with the album`s 2000 CD reissue.[14]
