As if they finally realized that they couldn't quite compete with contemporary musical fashions any more,
the Bee Gees
moved firmly into "mature" territory with
Still Waters
. However, they are canny enough to realize that they shouldn't abandon the frothy
disco
that made them superstars in the late '70s -- they should merely temper it with measured rhythms and tasteful melodies. Consequently, nothing on
is infectious, but it is pleasant, and while only a handful of singles stand out --
"I Could Not Love You More"
is a sweet
ballad
-- it is still a fine, professional effort from these consummate professionals. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
