AMG Review of No Parking on the Dance Floor [Bonus Tracks]

Ron Wynn
All Music Guide

The greatest Midnight Star album, and a dancefloor and early '80s R&B/funk classic. The group found its niche with the silly hit "Freak-A-Zoid," and a nice, if lightweight, change-of-pace number in "Wet My Whistle." The title track was their third chart hit from the album, and "Electricity" did well as an album cut. The Calloways found the right balance between collective vocals, dance/funk arrangements, and a light fusion and instrumental pop touch in the charts. [The 2006 reissue, released to coincide with the Solar label's 30th anniversary, contains a pair of bonus remixes.]
