' The JB's grab at a piece of the disco market that made Van McCoy a solo star with this production. It's excellent throughout despite James Brown's subdued arrangements on some songs. "(It's Not the Express) It's the JB's Monaurail," usually a six-minute song, rambles for over eight. Fred Wesley's funky trombone peppers "All Aboard the Soul Funky Train" (an update of "Night Train"). "Transmograpfication" is similar to jazz trumpeter Eddie Henderson's crossover attempts on his Sunburst and Realization albums. "Thank You for Letting Me Be Myself and You Be Yours" is better than the title, with a Dyke and the Blazers-type vocal that sets it right.' Andrew.Hamilton@allmusic.com

' …I listed this album as the number two soul LP of the year at the time of its release, and I think it has not lost any of its magic in nearly 30 years. What makes this such a strong album is that both the ballads and the funky upbeat numbers are equally powerful. On the ballads, Sandra reminds me of Gladys Knight, while on the funkier cuts Gwen McCrae at her very best is a close point of comparison. If you like the music of Gladys and Gwen, don't hesitate a second, just click and download the CD.' Ismo.Tenkanen@Soul.Express

Sandra – for those who don't know is credited with "almost lead vocals" on the "Some Of My Best Jokes Are Friends" album, and as a "featured vocalist" on "R&B Skeletons In The Closet". A great example of her strong, soulful voice is on the Funkadelic 12" single "By Way Of The Drum" (1989), which features her prominently. "The Need To Be" is a fairly typical, but well inspired 80's pop/R&B outing for this excellent vocalist before she came aboard the Mothership to record and tour with the P-Funk All Stars at least briefly. This album contains PURE DEEP SOUL at its best, with touches of modern soul on the uptempo tracks. The balance is great, and really makes the album a fresh one: hardly the usual soul set from the time, and a record that really holds up over the years! Trust me, if you are a real soul fan, you don’t want to miss this.' editorial.review@soulexpress.net
