Reception
Reviews for the UK edition say it's "pretty hard not to love this album"[3] and "a perfect Christmas treat for anyone with children, grandchildren or a sense of nostalgia".[2]
In his review of the US version for Allmusic, John Bush claims that the album "is understandably heavy on films that came after Disney's '90s renaissance," but also says "the collection finds plenty of space for songs from the earlier generation of Disney classics."[1]
