In its obituary the New Yorks Times wrote of Boettcher: "If his life had gone just a bit differently, [he] might have been recognised as another Brian Wilson. … As it stands, Boettcher — a pop-music producer whose heyday was the late ’60s — now survives in rock history mostly as a liner-note credit. He could have been, but never was. Yet he enjoys a godlike status among a select group of music fans, for whom obscurity is more enticing than fame."
