With this, his very first album, White's music clearly had plenty of bedroom appeal. Using the same technique as Hayes, with extended songs that lasted several minutes, White helped put a lock on midnight love anthems. In addition to the pop and R&B smash "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby" and his own standouts, "Back My Yesterday" and "I've Found Someone," White took the Four Tops' "Standing in the Shadows of Love" and turned it into a veritable opus. With swirling strings, arrangements courtesy of Gene Page, and his own Love Unlimited vocal trio providing back up, White's first album was just a taste of what was to come. --David Nathan

Full of beautiful arrangements, muscianship, and his trademark orchestration, The Maestro allows the songs to build up, peak, and slowly let them run down. The other two songs are musically just as impressive, although Barry probably needed to tighten up the lyrics and vocals.
A remarkably advanced sound for a 'new artist', however Barry had been plying his trade and schooling himself on the game for years before this release. A little bit of 'remastering' is needed on this CDs sound, however the album itself is a classic and just a sample of more to come.
