 With the Beatles is a sequel of the highest order -- one that betters the original by developing its own 

tone and adding depth. While it may share several similarities with its predecessor -- there is an equal ratio 

of covers-to-originals, a familiar blend of girl group, Motown, R&B, pop, and rock, and a show tune that interrupts 

the flow of the album -- With the Beatles is a better record that not only rocks harder, it's considerably 

more sophisticated. They could deliver rock & roll straight ("I Wanna Be Your Man") or twist it 

around with a little Latin lilt ("Little Child," one of their most underrated early rockers); Lennon and McCartney 

wrote sweet ballads (the achingly gorgeous "All I've Got to Do") and sprightly pop/rockers ("All My Loving") 

with equal aplomb; and the propulsive rockers ("It Won't Be Long") were as richly melodic as slower songs 

("Not a Second Time"). Even George Harrison's first recorded song, "Don't Bother Me," is a standout, 

with its wonderfully foreboding minor-key melody. The heart of With the Beatles lies not in the covers, 

but the originals, where it was clear that, even at this early stage, the Beatles were rapidly maturing 

and changing, turning into expert craftsmen and musical innovators...(AllMusic)
