AllMusic Review by Andy Kellman

Wrapped in one of the most creatively corny sleeve designs imaginable -- an
actual license to dream signed by "B. Positive" and "D. Termination," who have
suspiciously identical handwriting -- the third Kleeer album was the group's
most successful, despite being powered only by a couple moderately popular
singles, neither of which would ever be considered the group's defining work.
The album maintains the rare balance of slickness and grittiness (topped only
by Slave and Cameo) of 1979's Winners, and it's a little heavier on ballads and
synthesizer work. If it weren't for its silly John Wayne impersonation (years
before Shawn Brown's "Rappin' Duke"), "Get Tough" wouldn't be too
distinguishable from the raft of simply functional funk singles of the year, but
the follow-up, "Running Back to You," works a dramatic midtempo groove as
well as the Gap Band's "Early in the Morning" -- and in this case, the
protagonist is more forthcoming about why things went wrong and is
desperate to straighten them out. "Say You Love Me" should've been a
regular presence on quiet storm programs, and a couple other cuts --
"Hypnotized," "Where Would I Be (Without Your Love)" -- demonstrate the
shortcomings of the two Kleeer anthologies that appeared before the dawn of
the 2000s.
