In an attempt to keep Shalamar relevant to a contemporary market, the album was heavily influenced by the then-dominant new jack swing style, but the end result was generally considered, at the least, disappointing. Wake Up failed to register on any chart in either the USA or the UK, neither did it produce a charting single in either country. It was Shalamar's least successful album and is usually looked upon as representing a somewhat unfortunate ending to the group's career.
