Bigger Than Both of Us continued the gold success of its predecessor, Daryl Hall and John Oates, by adding a cleaner, more pop-oriented gloss to the production, as well as fine songwriting that builds on the bright pulse of "Rich Girl." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

This is a transitional album for the duo. Its sound is dominated by the blue-eyed soul for which they'd become famous, but toward the end there are some stylistic change of paces. The big hit here, "Rich Girl," is one of the pair's best Motown pastiches; it was reputedly inspired by Errol Wetson, heir to the hamburger fortune. Hall seems to have felt, rightly, that "Rich Boy" didn't quite have the same ring.
