Overview

The album was released after their major success with their previous album, Lost in Love, and multiplied the band's popularity through the first period of the 1980s. Production was carried out by Clive Davis. The single, "The One That You Love", became the band's first and only No. 1 hit. "Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)" reached No. 5 in the US charts, being closely related to the style of Barry Manilow, one of the band's influences.[4] The third single of the album was "Sweet Dreams". Beside the singles, the track "I'll Never Get Enough of You" was used as the main theme of a Japanese TV novel, and became a hit in Asia.[5] This was their first entry into any Asian chart.
