Editorial Review:
While Diamond has never topped the work he did in the "Cherry, Cherry" days, some of his late-'70s adult-contemporary hits have aged better than they perhaps had a right to. If nothing else, his gruff voice can now be heard as a rebuke to Barry Manilow's chirpy tones. To paraphrase Neil Young, when Diamond answers Barbra Streisand on "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," he very nearly pushes the song out of the middle of the road and into the ditch. --Rickey Wright
12 Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 Reviews:
a great follow up to his 12 greatest hits 
2009-04-25 - I am a Neil Diamond fan & have been for 35yrs & i have most of Neil's CD's i must have scratched his greatest hits vol 2 & being a perfectionist like Neil i had to replace it. I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes good music & you don't have to be a Neil Diamond fan as he covers country, easy listening, pop, rock & vocal, his range of music is very varied & includes some gospel & Christmas CD's. I hope some of you check Neil's music out & you might be surprised. Andy.

Not a big Neil Diamond fan, but I love the song "America." 
2008-09-22 - Not a big Neil Diamond fan, but I love the song "America." This one song makes purchasing the CD worthwhile.
Feel-good music from a golden age.
2007-06-12 - Neil Diamond produced some really beautiful feel-good music, and really memorable stuff from the golden age of the 70's. His powerful voice combines with strong melodies to produce really immortal music.
This collection showcases some of his materpieces from the late 70's.
Notable is the powerful Beautiful Noise, the melancholy Hello Again, the laidback Hello Again, the romantic Desiree, the famous duet with Barbara Streisand, You Don't Bring Me Flowers, the triumphant patriotic America, and the passionate Love On The Rocks.
This certainly is a mood lifter, and takes one back to a better, simpler time.
My favorites
2007-01-09 - I listen to this one over and over and never tire of it. Actually
had friends over and played it and one of the women agreed with
me that this one puts us in the mood. His voice has a certain
quality to it that makes me just sit back, forget what I'm doing,
and just listen. The hits I remember him for are all here to
bring back wonderful memories.
Nice CD 
2006-03-26 - I enjoyed this CD even though many songs were new to me. The more I listen, the better I like it. What's not to like about Neil Diamond?
