In Love

"'Crazy' is elegant, old-fashioned songwriting—a taut, melancholy melody that unfolds with impeccable logic over some basic chord changes and erupts into a heart-grabbing singalong chorus. Its transparency and simplicity, and the grandeur of that rising and tumbling chorus, gives the song a timeless feel. Like many of the best pop tunes, 'Crazy' seems like it has always existed—like it wasn't written so much as yanked out of the ether."

Jody Rosen in Slate analyzes the song of 2006.
