Unfortunately, what could have been the album of their career wound up being their swan song for a variety of reasons. Solid production, diverse musical offerings, integral songwriting and lush harmonies could not offset the botched marketing approach, minimal promotion and inconsistent momentum. Further, Gioia's unfortunate departure due to an inoperable throat cyst affected the group, who were recognizable and distinctive to their audience. Kelly Moneymaker assumed the vacancy.

The first single "I Wish The Phone Would Ring" screams of bubble gum pop tart chart material, unbecoming of Expose's established and successful track record (think of this song as Expose-lite). Jeanette sings of waiting by the phone for her loved one to call. The break beat, mid tempo song faired poor in comparison to their earlier releases and stalled at number 20.

The ballad, "I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)" redeemed the album's poor start. Jeanette's subtle lead vocals were rewarded with an 8 ranking on the pop chart. This resulted only after a concerted promotional injection, relentlessly serving to remind the audience that Expose was back, and with the type of song that they are best appreciated for...a ballad. Things were looking much better.

After a string a released singles, the time seemed left to release a song with Ann performing lead vocals. The lush ballad "As Long As I Can Dream" quietly came along and made a respectable showing on the adult contemporary chart; however, the pop chart wasn't having it. Ultimately, the song failed to chart as high as previous successful singles. This is most unfortunate since "As Long As I Can Dream" could have been Expose's anthem and bring attention to Ann finally having her moment in the lead vocal spotlight on a released single. The song itself is audio heaven, complete with a lush orchestral arrangement becoming of Grammy consideration. The lyrics bring a sense of faith and hope for a better world. Most inspiring, encouraging and uplifting lyrics that marked a new distinction with this "girl group." In terms of musical patterns, it is a mature track lavished in sophisticated arrangements.

"In Walked Love" marked the fourth single from the album, focusing on Ann at lead once again. From a casual listen, this song is in the Wilson Phillips vein and could have further capitalized Expose's evolving repertoire and alternating lead vocal trademark. From the open-minded perspective, "In Walked Love" has a contemporary country and western feel, to a degree. "In Walked Love" failed to realize into a successful single but fared better on the adult contemporary side of the charts.

Take notice on several of the solid album tracks. "I Think I'm In Trouble" seizes the listener by the collar and doesn't let go. Ann plus House could have equaled success had this track been released first. Such an idea could have served a knockout approach: Expose is back; Ann singing lead on a released single and Expose does House (and very well, thank you).

Bookending the album is another House ditty "Give Me All Your Love," with Jeanette taking the mike. A slammin' track that seemingly screamed for consideration to be released. Expose is at their most provocative here and Jeanette holds her own. Listen out for the trademark harp instrument at the very end...an ode to "Exposed To Love," if you will.

"Touch And Go" is the album's only live arrangement track (much like "Now That I Found You" before it) and Jeanette fares well on it. The sing along chorus compliments Expose's attempt at further diversifying their repertoire. Give a listen to "Face To Face," a Jeanette-lead break beat track in the freestyle flavor for contrast.

"I Specialize In Love" is the "I Know You Know" and "Walk Along With Me" of albums past in terms of alternate lead vocal. The remake is strictly House and Expose seemed destined to reign supreme. "I Specialize In Love" was released as a fifth single but the damage had been done. Clubs embraced it but wasn't really appreciated beyond that in terms of pop chart support.

Despite the album's lack of promotional support, "Expose" is the crown jewel for the group and one that could have made them a household name. Well-produced and offering different flavors, the album is a must have for any Expose aficionado. Highly recommended.
