Don't look for "Kentucky Woman"- or "America"-level energy in As Time Goes By, Neil Diamond's double-disc collection of movie themes. These tracks are much more orchestrated (conducted by soundtrack legend Elmer Bernstein, even), and although they're just as emotive, they're ultimately too smooth for most of us. It's an interesting mix of old and new--songs range from "Moon River" to a surprisingly effective "My Heart Will Go On"; there's even a Sinatra medley. Diamond is certainly in top form (just not the form some of us wish he was still in), and Bernstein's music is effective. The real flaw is the pacing--seemingly upbeat numbers just never seem to take off. "And I Love Her," "Puttin' On the Ritz," and "True Love" beg for the jazz singer we once knew. Does every diamond in the rough eventually get polished? Suppose so... --Jason Verlinde

Neil Diamond "As Time Goes By: The Movie Album June 4, 2008
His voice is as gorgeous as always, but the tempo drags on nearly every song. Some things should just be left to Sinatra ...
 Worst Diamond album of all time. May 2, 2008
It is close between "Up on the Roof" and this thing. "The Movie Album "just plain stinks. I sense Neil had this one forced on him by the record company.
 Rip-off March 29, 2007

I'm not going to critique the music, that's totally subjective. I happen to like about 8 of the songs a lot and the others are so-so. Just my opinion, others will differ. In general, I like Neil Diamond's music a lot. Prospective buyers should know, however, that the price of this 33 minutes-per-CD set is a rip-off. That's right, there's only a total of 66 minutes of music, and therefore, no excuse to put the music on 2 CDs and charge a double-CD price. Columbia Records was obviously out to fool the brick-and-mortar buyer who hadn't read online reviews.

Neil Diamond's medley of past and present movie adagios in this great album are indeed very pleasant listening. He still has the voice to delight those of us who enjoy the music and lyrics of songs from great lyricists, past and present, although I thought that at times Neil held the pitch of the note a little too long and as a result the notes became a little flat. Nevertheless, he still sings with passion and feeling and I have always regarded him as a great songwriter and singer. He has definitely earned his place in the annals of the all-time great singer/songwriters.

"I remember THAT song!" How often have I said that! Neil Diamond has always been a favorite of mine, and when my favorite singer performs my favorite songs...what could be better? This collection is the BEST for travel!
