"Rounding up rare and unissued tracks recorded between 1965-1968 -- including no less than 11 solo sides by Dennis Edwards -- Just a Little Misunderstanding trumps its predecessor largely due to its diversity. Where the cuts on Dance with the Contours followed the early-'60s Motown playbook pretty precisely, there's a greater variety of sounds here: hard-driving dance in the vein of "First I Look at the Purse," plenty of richly orchestrated uptown soul, and songs that sound pitched halfway between the Temptations and the Four Tops".

"Donnis Edwards was the principal lead singer with the Temptations longer than any other ... The singer had spent two years at Motown Records prior to joining the Temps, first with the Contours, then as a solo artist. The present CD contains 16 tracks by the Contours - some of them recorded prior to Edward's arrival - and 10 by Edwards as a solo artist ... The productions of those songs, along with new numbers by Motown staff writers, are typical of the company's highest standards".
