Release and reception

"I'll Come Runnin'" was arranged by and features the orchestra of Mike Leander. It was released with the B-side "I Get the Feelin'", which was also written by Diamond and originally titled "I Got the Feelin' (Oh No No)". It had been released as the follow-up single to "Cherry, Cherry" in October 1966.[3] Richard would also go on to record covers of other Diamond songs, "Solitary Man" and "Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon".

Reviewing for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson wrote that the song "starts quietly with a rippling Mike Leander accompaniment. Then it explodes into a pulsating chorus, with blaring brass, chirping girls and Cliff in his most rhythmic mood". He also liked "the light and shade of this disc – the contrast between the delicately-scored verses and the punchy attack of the chorus. Quite a whistleable tune, too".[4] For Record Mirror, Peter Jones described "I'll Come Runnin'" as "a mixture of soft vocal and rip-roaring rocking – and the arrangement is tremendous".[5]
