MOG Editorial Review

By taking an R&B sound and adding just the right amount of disco to the mix, Chic created a sound that was not only perfect for the dancefloor, but the perfect way to win over those skeptical of the disco around the time of C'est Chic's 1978 release. Classic cuts like "Le Freak" were all about good vibes and soulful fun, and it's that kind of attitude that separated it from, say, the more flamboyant antics of competition like ABBA. Elsewhere, Chic flexed their R&B muscles on silky-smooth ballads like "Savoire Faire," which serve as the perfect breathers between party-starting jams. C'est Chic showed the group at the height of their powers, but once you get a taste of their disco flavor, you'll be eager to digest the rest of their late '70s output, and you won't be disappointed.
AMG Review of C'est Chic

All Music Guide

Released in 1978, just as disco began to peak, C'est Chic and its pair of dancefloor anthems, "Le Freak" and "I Want Your Love," put Chic at the top of that dizzying peak. The right album at the right time, C'est Chic is essentially a rehash of Chic, the group's so-so self-titled debut from a year earlier. That first album also boasted a pair of floor-filling anthems, "Dance Dance Dance" and "Everybody Dance," and, like C'est Chic, it filled itself out with a mix of disco and ballads. So, essentially, C'est Chic does everything its predecessor did, except it does so masterfully: each side similarly gets its timeless floor-filler ("Le Freak," "I Want Your Love"), quiet storm come-down ("Savoir Faire," "At Last I Am Free"), feel-good album track ("Happy Man," "Sometimes You Win"), and moody album capper ("Chic Cheer," "[Funny] Bone"). Producers Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers were quite a savvy pair and knew that disco was as much a formula as anything. As evidenced here, they definitely had their fingers on the pulse of the moment, and used their perceptive touch to craft one of the few truly great disco albums. In fact, you could even argue that C'est Chic very well may be the definitive disco album. After all, countless artists scored dancefloor hits, but few could deliver an album this solid, and nearly as few could deliver one this epochal as well. C'est Chic embodies everything wonderful and excessive about disco at its pixilated peak. It's anything but subtle with its at-the-disco dancefloor mania and after-the-disco bedroom balladry, and Edwards and Rodgers are anything but whimsical with their disco-ballad-disco album sequencing and pseudo-jet-set Euro poshness. Chic would follow C'est Chic with "Good Times," the group's crowning achievement, but never again would Edwards and Rodgers assemble an album as perfectly calculated as C'est Chic.
