Although they were nearly a decade on from their '70s heyday, the Brothers Johnson, with Leon Sylvers at the production helm, still managed to set a few grooves on fire among the heavy, heady crop of synthesized R&B that flooded the adult contemporary market.
Some of the duo's original intent survives on "I Came Here to Party" and the title track, but such stompers are few and far between, merely filling space in between the ballads and soft soul numbers which dominate the set, leaving the smart "Dazed" to fall somewhere in between.
And despite the soft sonics which proliferate, the Brothers Johnson certainly proved they were worthy of their staying power, while so many of their peers fell soundly by the wayside.

Light Up the Night marked the end of an era for the Brothers Johnson -- it was the last of four albums that Quincy Jones produced for the Los Angeles siblings, and it was the last time a Brothers Johnson album was truly excellent instead of merely decent.
When Jones was producing the Brothers Johnson's albums from 1976-1980, he gave them something their subsequent albums lacked -- consistency.
Even though George and Lewis Johnson recorded some decent material after Light Up the Night, none of their post-Jones albums had the type of consistency that Jones gives this 1980 release.

 The Brothers Johnson: Strawberry Letter 23: The Best of the Brothers Johnson - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
I was actually angry at the Brothers Johnson for letting Quincy Jones, famously their mentor and producer and svengali before he shifted his creepy attention to Michael Jackson, make their music all safe and sappy and pointillist-perfect.
Before I even knew there was a Shuggie Otis, I loved the Brothers' version of his song, "trippy love poetry" and all.
The Brothers Johnson were the most layered of their ilk, and the bubbling latticework of guitar and keys and bass that make this original version rule so hard over one that features Ray Charles and Chaka Khan just couldn't be touched by anyone else.

 Soundphile, November '01
This review is really about the Johnson brothers, but first we need to say a few words about their manager, Jonathan Klear.
Managers are the unsung heroes (literally) who promote a band, doing all the stuff that's not necessarily involved directly in making music, but which gets you out there and heard and seen by people.
In all justice, though, we have to say that their songs don't come across as well on the CD as they do live.

There is the cheery romanticism of the Brothers Johnson — those flare-panted fathers of soul with the thumb-flying bass lines and jazzy curves who rolled all the above into syrupy stew.
Q, in turn, produced their brassy classics like the tipsy "Strawberry Letter 23," the naughty "Get The Funk Out Ma Face" and the heavenly hosanna of "Runnin’ for Your Lovin’" — modern soul classics that set the stage for Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall.
Without the Brothers J, there’d be less fun in the funk.
