«
... Jackson 5 stand in the same tradition of super young
rock singers that goes back to Frankie Lymon & The
Teenagers, and more recently, Little Stevie Wonder... supplied
with some strong arrangements and instrumental backing from
the Motown assembly line, the boys from Gary, Indiana, perform
with an exuberance and flair which many older groups...
rarely achieve these days.»
Rolling Stone, 1969
