The album falls within the Pop and Southern Rock genres and was produced by Chuck Plotkin. It's known for its blend of rock, pop, and a slightly mellow, organic sound. The album was successful, largely due to its hit single, "Dance with Me," which became the band's breakthrough hit and a long-standing soft rock classic. The title track, "Let There Be Music," was also released as a single and peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100.
