Album review from 1971, Tapestry by Carole King ...

"Miss King's coming has been forecast since her Writer LP; initial response to this beautifully produced and performed album predicts wide acceptance. "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "Natural Woman" are updated oldies, while new material like "Smackwater Jack," "You've Got A Friend," "Where You Lead," and the title song are outstanding new songs. Naturally, she wrote or cowrote all the material."

- Billboard, 1971.

"Carole King's second album, Tapestry, has fulfilled the promise of her first and confirmed the fact that she is one of the most creative figures in all of pop music. It is an album of surpassing personal-intimacy and musical accomplishment and a work infused with a sense of artistic purpose. It is also easy to listen to and easy to enjoy."
