Evolution is the band's first album to feature drummer Steve Smith.
It was the band's most successful album at the time, reaching No. 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart, and has sold three million copies in the US. They retained Roy Thomas Baker (best known for his work with Queen) as producer, but drummer Aynsley Dunbar was replaced with Smith, formerly with Ronnie Montrose's band.
Evolution features their first top 20 hit, "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", which was inspired by the classic Sam Cooke top 20 hit "Nothin' Can Change This Love" and reached No. 16 in the US.[7] "Just the Same Way" featured original lead vocalist Gregg Rolie along with Steve Perry. Record World called "Just the Same Way" a "hard but slick rocker."[8]
Record World said that the single "Too Late" "takes the rock ballad to new limits with a call & response hookline and Neal Schon's dashing guitar break.
