This album highlights his solid skills as a songwriter and producer.
The album features light, easy-to-listen-to songs that draw on the AOR and West Coast Rock influences while incorporating the sophisticated sound sensibility of the time.
The gentle melodies and warm vocals are still alive and well, and even within the urban pop sensibility, there is a lyrical feeling reminiscent of travel and life's turning points. The composition prioritizes perfection over flashiness, creating a comfortable feel, and while the album evokes the atmosphere of the early '80s, it retains Messina's characteristic friendliness.
