About the album
The album marked a comeback for America, achieving a moderate impact on the US charts, where it reached number 41 on the Billboard album chart. Two singles emerged from this work that captured attention: "You Can Do Magic", which positioned itself at number eight on the Billboard singles chart and fifth on the adult contemporary music chart, and "Right Before Your Eyes", also known as "Rudolph Valentino", which reached number 45 on the singles chart and 16 on the adult contemporary music chart. It is interesting to note that "You Can Do Magic" remained on the charts for 20 weeks, a record for an America single. On the other hand, the song "Inspector Mills" became a hit in the Philippines during the 1980s and remains one of the band's most remembered pieces in that country.
While some critics noted that View From the Ground presented a polished sound, they also described it as a somewhat predictable album overall. However, standout songs like "You Can Do Magic" and "Right Before Your Eyes" were recognized for their quality, suggesting that their listening might be more rewarding through greatest hits compilations. The complete tracklist included songs such as "Never Be Lonely", "You Girl", "Love on the Vine", "Desperate Love", "Jody", "Sometimes Lovers", and "Even the Score", forming a sonic proposal that sought to reconnect with the audience.
