Stills had met and married French pop singer Veronique Sanson, while Hillman re-united with the rest of the Byrds for a one-shot reunion album.

Hillman was also entertaining a big-money offer from David Geffen's Asylum Records to form a new super-group with JD Souther and Richie Furay.

Arguments and increased drug-use were extremely prevalent, and Stills was losing money paying for each member each night.

[3] To make matters worse Atlantic Records, then rejected some of the tracks, which necessitated re-recordings, resulting in patchwork quality to the album.

"[8] Richard Williams of Melody Maker wrote in 1973, "For me, the two Latin songs are the best; Stills has a real affinity for this music - the hoarse strained quality of his voice suits the yearning mood of the tunes - and I'd love to see 'Pensamiento' become a hit single".

[12] Stills blamed the failure of the album on Atlantic preferring to have a CSNY reunion, which was a guaranteed cash cow.

Other reasons for the commercial decline include record stores not knowing which section to put the album in: either under Stills' name or under Manassas'.

The first show back was recorded for the ABC in Concert TV series, during which Stills remarked that he hadn't played with the band since before Christmas.
