The fairly standard midtempo grooves do little to foreshadow the sonic revelations that were soon to come.

Though Jackson sang appealingly, the arrangements were noticeably similar to many older Motown charts, and there was little here to hint that, four years hence, on his next solo album, Off the Wall, Jackson would emerge as a major star.

The obvious difference here is Michael's brand new tenor voice. His age also matches better with the themes lyrically, compared to before. His vocal performances are clearly improved and the album features a bit more of sonic variety than previously. The album is consistent but there isn't a running theme or any concept whatsoever other than a compilation of cutesy teen songs.
Only significant thing about this release is that he doesn't sound like a child anymore and THANK GOD. Consistently alright
The 1 song called “We’re almost there” telling us that We’re almost there, where Michael’s good music starts, because it’s his last album with fucking Motown and their terrible songwriters.
