It contains singles "Shame", also one of King's signature songs, and "I Don't Know If It's Right", both of which were hits in the United States and Canada. Outside North America in music charts, "Shame" performed modestly in a few European countries, while the latter charted in the United Kingdom and New Zealand but performed poorly there. SongsIn the Billboard charts, "Shame" peaked at number nine in the Hot 100,[1] number seven in the Hot Soul Singles,[2] and number eight in the Disco Action,[3] In Canada's RPM charts, "Shame" peaked at number sixteen in Top 100 Singles[4] and number five in the Dance/Urban chart.[5] It also peaked at number thirty-nine in the UK Singles Chart,[4] number eighteen in the Dutch Top 40,[5] number twenty-six in the Netherlands's Singles Top 100,[6] and number twelve in Belgium's Ultratop Top 50 Singles.[7] The song was certified gold by the RIAA on August 11, 1978,[8] became one of King's signature songs,[9] and would be later covered by Zhané for the 1994 film A Low Down Dirty Shame and then Kim Wilde in 1996. "I Don't Know If It's Right" peaked number twenty-three in the Billboard Hot 100,[1][10] number seven in the Hot Soul Singles.[2] and number twenty-five in the Disco Action.[3][11] It was positioned at number twenty-one on the year-end top 50 Soul Singles of 1979.{{sfn|Billboard Year-End|1979|page=TIA-38}} The song was also certified gold by the RIAA on February 22, 1979.[8] In Canada, the song entered the RPM Top 100 Singles at number ninety-four on the week ending January 13, 1979,[12] and peaked at number seventeen for two weeks until the week ending April 14.[13][14] It also entered the RPM Adult Oriented Playlist at number forty-three on the week ending January 20 that same year[15] and peaked at number six on the week ending March 31.[16] It also reached number eleven on the RPM Dance/Urban chart on the week ending October 28, 1978, a year prior.[17] It was position at number 130 on the RPM year-end Top 200 Singles of 1979.[18] The song peaked at number sixty-seven in the UK Singles Chart.[4] It also entered the New Zealand Singles Chart at number thirty-eight, its peak position, on the week ending May 6 that same year and fell from its position a week later.[19][20] The titular song "Smooth Talk" contains "undulating drum fills and serene and stylish vocal arrangement."[28] Album historyThe album was released in 1977 and peaked at number fourteen on the Billboard 200[21] and number eight on the Soul Albums chart.[22] In Billboard's year-end charts of 1978, it was positioned at number seventy-six on the year-end top 100 Pop Albums{{sfn|Billboard Year-End|1978|page=TIA-20}} and number thirty-one on the year-end top 50 Soul Albums.{{sfn|Billboard Year-End|1978|page=TIA-62}} It was also positioned at number twenty-five on the year-end top 50 Soul Albums of 1979.{{sfn|Billboard Year-End|1979|page=TIA-36}} It was certified gold by the RIAA on September 6, 1978. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with bonus tracks in 2010 by Big Break Records. The original vinyl disc was reissued twice following the single releases of "Shame" and "I Don't Know If It's Right", in each case replacing the LP track version with the 12" remix version. Critical receptionAllmusic critic Justin Kantor rated the album four out of five stars, calling it "a fine catch for '70s R&B connoisseurs" and "a fun, satisfying listen for the body—if not a genius piece of soul," and highly praising the hit single "Shame". However, he considered several other tracks forgettable, like "Dancin', Dancin', Dancin'" and "'Til I Come off the Road."[23]Track listing{{Track listing| headline = Side one | title1 = Smooth Talk | writer1 = Theodore Life, Mike Holden, William Kimes | length1 = 5:29 | title2 = I Don't Know If It's Right | note2 = original LP version | writer2 = Theodore Life, John H.
