The Bee Gees are persistent and they work hard for the money, carefully cloning current fashion with Size Isn't Everything. You can just hear them saying, "We did disco, we can do hip-hop," and you can hear them try on "Paying the Price of Love," with its heavy percussion track. But it wasn't their approximation of the Compton beat that got them (just barely) back in the pop charts, it was the hook, which wasn't all that different from "Massachusetts." ~ William Ruhlmann

By the time the Gibb brothers rolled into the '90s, they'd been through everything from Beatlesque baroque pop to disco and Philly soul. There are elements of all these styles in the eminently adaptable band's sound on SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING, but the overriding feel is one of high-production '90s pop, with smooth layers of synthesizer and generous amounts of reverb. Those who remain fixated on the days of "To Love Somebody" might not find a point of entry here. However, Bee Gees fans whose raisons d'etre are the group's distinctive three-part harmonies and subtly inventive songwriting will have no trouble discerning in this album the stylistic thread linking it to the band's glory days.

Entertainment Weekly (11/5/93, p.70) - "...the Brothers Gibb have managed to stay alive by continually retooling their sound with a cunning commercial savvy...." Rating: B
