While retaining the blues and psychedelic feel of the 70s, the album stands out for its sharp, urban approach that was conscious of the MTV era of the time.
The overall vibe is one of relaxed adult ease and 80s coolness. Rather than flashy innovation, it is the attitude of updating one's own style while staying in tune with the times that is striking.
The sound, which actively incorporates synthesizers and digital textures, is light and clear. The simple, catchy melodies and rhythms seen in tracks like the title track and "Bongo Bongo" exude Steve Miller's artisanal pop sensibility. Meanwhile, the guitars are not overly prominent, and are placed in a way that emphasizes the overall flow of the song.
