AMG Review of You're a Big Boy Now
William Ruhlmann
All Music GuideDirector Francis Ford Coppola hired Lovin' Spoonful leader John Sebastian to compose music for his romantic comedy, You're a Big Boy Now, and Sebastian brought his band in to perform many of the songs, including the ballad "Darling Be Home Soon," which became The Spoonful's next hit. Most of the rest of the score consisted of instrumentals, many augmented by an uncredited orchestra, but Sebastian's title song was also impressive.
