AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine says Hootie & the Blowfish, on Cracked Rear View, '... deliver the goods, turning out an album of solid, rootsy folk-rock songs that have simple, powerful hooks.' The album played a pivotal role in shaping the career of it's lead vocalist, Darius Rucker, who transitioned to country music in the mid-2000s as a solo artist. Cracked Rear View was an instant sensation, with chart-topping hits such as 'Hold My Hand,' 'Let Her Cry,' and 'Only Wanna Be with You.' The album has a distinctive sound, blending rock, pop, and a hint of folk, using Rucker's soulful, raspy baritone as it's emotional core, and his heartfelt delivery to win over audiences. Cracked Rear View's emotional depth and Rucker's distinctive voice left an indelible mark on the music industry, making Hootie & the Blowfish's debut album a timeless piece of musical history.
