[5] Produced by Curt Boettcher, the album includes a mix of covers and originals.

The lyrics to the title track were written by Love's manager, Dan Parker.

[citation needed] Love's cover of "Be My Baby" originates from July 1980 sessions produced by (and featuring keyboards by) his Beach Boys bandmate and cousin Brian Wilson.

[7][8] However, the released track features additional overdubs and production completed without Wilson, and Curt Boettcher receives the sole production credit.

[citation needed] The Rolling Stone Album Guide called the album "notable only for its title track: an egregious 'salute' to those crazy ol' '60s that would probably make a dandy Republican campaign jingle.
