Riff came along just before vocal groups began to explode again. They were hurt by erratic material and the fact that they were on a label which had little experience promoting urban contemporary and R&B groups (SBK). This wasn't a bad album, and their vocals and harmonies were often superb, but it died on the vine. Now, this kind of thing dominates the R&B charts, and
Riff displayed as much ability on this release as
Shai,
Boyz II Men,
H-Town,
Intro, or any number of other hot vocal ensembles. ~ Ron Wynn
