The album was recorded in December 1979 and January 1980.[2] All of the seven tracks were originals first released on this album.[1]
In a review issued on May 3, 1980, a Billboard writer commented on Corea's experimentation on Tap Step with three types of Moog synthesizer, an Oberheim synthesizer, a Rhodes and Bösendorfer and a Hohner duo keyboard. In the view of the writer, this approach made this album sound modern but also at times "freakish and unmusical".[4]
All music composed and arranged by Chick Corea.
