Yes.  'man cron' says the following:

  "When executing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the
  crontab  (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable
  in the crontab if such exists)."

So at the start of your crontab you need a line with something like:

MAILTO=<your address>
