"(Cracklin' Rosie) is excellent Neil Diamond ... Diamond isn't afraid to throw in a little early-'60s schmaltz. He has thoroughly bypassed, or ignored 'rock' progressive or otherwise. He's chosen to go ahead with straight pop. But, two things set him apart ... one is that he has a really knockout voice, once it might have been called a 'strong baritone.' And two, he's deeply involved with the music he writes ... I hope he keeps writing singles. They're among the best there are."
- Rolling Stone
Neil Diamond's first million selling album, 1970's Tap Root Manuscript spawned his first US number one single, Cracklin' Rosie, as well as yielding a top 20 cover of the Hollies' hit He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.
