Cissy Houston brings her power and passion to yet another album of excellent disco produced by Michael Zager. While nothing here really matches "Think It Over," I'd say as an album, despite the unfortunate cover art, this one's a much more consistent effort. Michael Zager's production here in on point, as usual. His full, rich production values bring out the best in both Cissy voice and the material.

"It Doesn't Only Happen At Night" charted on the Billboard Disco Charts at #24 (along with "You're The Fire"), but as far as the disco tracks on the album go, they're pretty much all excellent songs in their own right. Anyone who enjoyed any of Michael Zager or Cissy Houston's previous disco efforts will surely enjoy this one.
