The album features a mix of upbeat tracks and slower ballads, showcasing Franklin's versatility as a pianist and composer. The standout tracks include the title track "Calling," which features a catchy melody and impressive solos from Franklin and his bandmates. "The Groove" is another standout track, with its funky bassline and infectious rhythm.
