Lonnie Liston Smith's musical path in the 70's had basically been one of consistent rhythmic revolutions. And since there was something new on that horizon,Smith was enthusiastic to embrace the rhythms of the times. Get Down Everybody (It's Time For World Peace)" approaches the new dance funk sound in a manner similar to Brass Construction-filled with high octane Afro-Latin percussion. On the other hand it keeps it's foot firmly inside the message of his music,even adding a little melodic reference from Marvin Gaye's What's Going On on the refrain. Goddess Of Love" and the slower "Golden Dreams" both musically come out of a place that's hard to explain even for Smith. On "Journey Into Space",interestingly enough he presents one of his view songs with a very prominent African influence-both rhythmically and harmonically.
Reflections of a Golden Dream is the last LP Lonnie Liston Smith cut for Flying Dutchman and it's hard not to see the record as an aural manifestation of the label's shifting fortunes. As the jazz marketplace shifted during the '70s, the label had its financial hand forced and they needed to abandon their esoteric ways for something that was a bit more commercial. Of all their artists, Smith was the best positioned to do this because he already struck upon a blend of the spiritual and funk with 1975's Expansions
