MOG Editorial Review

After a decade of near-success and several lineup changes, the O'Jays finally experienced their breakthrough moment with the release of Back Stabbers in 1972. By embracing a larger sound that fused their Philly soul with R&B and funk's upbeat ingredients, the group hit their stride on both a commercial and musical level, with both the iconic title track and "Love Train" becoming smash hits. Elsewhere, the guitar riffs on "When the World's at Peace" found them at their funkiest, while "Sunshine" showed that their expansive sound could translate into memorable ballads as well. It may have taken longer than they anticipated, but the O'Jays' patience paid off in dividends when they created this soul classic.
AMG Review of Back Stabbers

All Music Guide

A major turning point for the O'Jays, Back Stabbers took the group to the top of the charts and made them household names in the R&B world. The O'Jays had been paying serious dues since the late '50s, and their perseverance payed off in a major way when the unsettling title song, the infectious "Time to Get Down," and the uplifting "Love Train" became their biggest hits up to that point. Indeed, this album did more than its part to help establish Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff's Philadelphia International Records as the most successful soul label since Stax and Motown.
