Right on Time (Brothers Johnson album)

Right on Time is the second album by the Los Angeles, California-based duo the Brothers Johnson. Released in 1977, the album peaked at number two on the R&B albums chart and number thirteen on the pop albums chart in the U.S. It includes the number-one R&B song "Strawberry Letter 23", and winner of a Grammy Award in 1978 for Best R&B Instrumental Performance, "Q".

Critical reception

In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "C+" grade and panned the duo for how "bland" and lifeless they made their funk: "Pop professionalism reduced to a concept in which all annoyances and other signs of life are eliminated." In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Stephen Cook credited Quincy Jones for producing a "seamless mix of pop and funk."
