The live double album was culled from recordings made on the tour's stops in Buffalo, Providence, Atlanta, and New York City.

The group would reunite for their final tour (sans an injured Jackie Jackson, who only participated in the second and final last leg of the tour after recovering from a knee injury)—Victory Tour—in 1984.

Bruce Eder, of AllMusic, wrote that the album "is a reminder of how great an act they [the Jacksons] were, and captures what was just about the end of Michael Jackson's work with the family group, all of it very much on a high-note.

The album is worth tracking down as an artifact of a simpler, more unabashedly joyous time in music, as well as the family's history.
