To Whom It May Concern has been described as a transitional album by the Bee Gees during their period in the doldrums before they embraced a radically different sound. Includes the UK top ten hit Run To Me. (US:35)

“The ballad heavy track listing ensured long standing fans would be happy. That said, you can only take so many of these heavily arranged ballads before they begin to sound alike. To my ears the brothers' formula finally starts to sound somewhat tired and worn.”

“This one is a bit of a mixed bag. Here they are clearly going through a transitional phase from their well known orchestrated sound to...something else. I'm not quite sure what though. A number of songs sound tired and seem to be an indicator that they were becoming bored with their orchestrated pop. This is a crossroads album, showing the first signs of moving towards a new direction.”

“A very typical Bee Gees album of the era, which included both rockers and syrupy numbers, both progressive pop and twee tunes.”

“An obscure record by the Bee Gees, lost in their transition phase, between the original pop-masters and their later disco success. I really love it, the hits are consistent, Run To Me and Alive are good and lovable.”

“The album is a goodbye to the old Bee Gees and was the changing of the old guard. It is a fabulous album, one were you can truly witness the complexity this band possessed as both singers and songwriters.”

“Released in one of the Gibb's slow periods, this LP contains a collection of mostly individual works, most of it hodgepodge, but there is still a humble brilliance to many of the songs. However, for the real Bee Gees fan, it is a must have. Other than the big hit, Run To Me, other standout cuts are, Road To Alaska, a unique toe-tapping rocker, Paper Mache Cabbages & Kings, a fun novelty song that bounces around with oddball lyrics, You Know It's For You, a Maurice Gibb song that is one of his best lively mood songs and Alive, a poorly received single that is one of the best written ballads the Bee Gees have done.”
