MOG Editorial Review

The late '70s marked a bit of a divergent period between R&B and funk, but nobody bothered to tell the Brothers Johnson when they released the aptly titled Right on Time in 1977. Despite the lively horns throughout the album, the Brothers Johnson had a soulful, classic R&B sound that shines through especially on their finest moment, with the cover of Shuggie Otis's "Strawberry Letter 23" being one such best-of-both-worlds moment. Meanwhile, "Q" found them mastering the art of the sensual slow jam with a few light touches of jazz, and "Free Yourself, Be Yourself" is Right on Time's secret weapon to anyone hoping to do a little dance in their chair while they listen.
AMG Review of Right on Time

All Music Guide

Potentially viewed as something of a warm-up for Quincy Jones before producing Michael Jackson's wildly successful Off the Wall and Thriller albums, the Brothers Johnson's first two releases spawned hits like "I'll Be Good to You" and brought George and Louis Johnson to a mass audience of their own. (Louis, in fact, would go on to play bass on those first two sessions by the King of Pop.) As with the Jackson discs, Jones creates a seamless mix of pop and funk on the Brothers sophomore release Right on Time, helping to create the group's second chart-topper "Strawberry Letter 23" as well the equally effervescent, minor R&B hit "Runnin' for Your Lovin'." With Earth, Wind & Fire's airy dancefloor hits in mind, the Brothers also deliver polished funk tracks like "Right on Time" and "Never Leave You Lonely," as well as more pop-friendly material like "Free Yourself, Be Yourself" and "Love Is." And with one of the best jazz arrangers in the business behind the board, the Brothers couldn't forgo some instrumentals here as well, specifically the breezy, funk-in-a-quiet-storm number "'Q'" and the less intriguing, synthesizer jam "Brother Man." An enjoyable and even infectious collection that, in its sophistication, certainly avoids being just some sort of dry run for Jones.
