If's last studio album isn't as good as their first albums. After many line-up changes, the band slowly changed their musical direction to more straightforward blues-soul-rock.
For sure, you still will find there their sax sound, but generally music became simpler, more guitar based, and in some sense repeated Chicago's evolution. Songs became better structurized, with catchier melodies and openly radio-friendly. Still some arrangements could be pleasant for jazz-rock fans. Some songs are simple blues-rock at the same time.
Still listenable album with some traces of nice earlier music time, but that's all. Mostly for fans.by snobb, allmusic
