It is his debut on Warner Bros. Records. Commercial performance{{listen|pos=left |filename=This Masquerade sample.ogg |title="This Masquerade" |description=George Benson's "This Masquerade" from Breezin |filetype=Ogg}} The album marked the beginning of Benson's most successful period commercially. Breezin topped the Pop, Jazz and R&B album charts in Billboard[1] and spun off two hit singles, the title song (which has become a smooth jazz standard) and "This Masquerade," which was a top ten pop and R&B hit.[2] The album itself was certified triple Platinum by the RIAA.[3] The album won multiple prizes at the 1977 Grammy Awards. The album won the awards Best Pop Instrumental Performance for Benson and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical for Al Schmitt and was nominated as Album of the Year for Tommy LiPuma and Benson. "This Masquerade" received the award Record of the Year for LiPuma and Benson, while it was nominated as Song of the Year for Leon Russell and as Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male for Benson.[4] Critical reception{{Album ratings|rev2 = Christgau's Record Guide |rev2Score = C[5] }} In a contemporaneous review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "C" and dismissed most of its music as "mush".[6] In a retrospective review, Allmusic's Richard S. Ginell gave it three-and-a-half out of five stars and said that, although Benson's guitar is "as assured and fluid as ever", Breezin{{'}} is "really not so much a breakthrough as it is a transition album; the guitar is still the core of his identity."[7] Track listing{{track listing|headline= Side one |title1=Breezin'|writer1=Bobby Womack|length1=5:40 |title2=This Masquerade|writer2=Leon Russell|length2=8:03 |title3=Six to Four|writer3=Phil Upchurch|length3=5:06 }}{{track listing |headline= Side two |title1=Affirmation|writer1=José Feliciano|length1=7:01 |title2=So This is Love?|writer2=Benson|length2=7:03 |title3=Lady|writer3=Ronnie Foster|length3=5:49 }} Personnel
