Reception
[edit]Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine writing that Springfield shows effort as a musician on this recording: "Springfield doesn't succumb to cutesiness, he doesn't record standards, he writes a selection of clear-eyed originals that are directed as much to the parents as they are to the kids".[1] Brandy McDonnell of The Oklahoman stated that "in spite the whimsical lyrics and soft sounds of marimba and bells, Springfield’s lullabies actually are pop songs with interesting chord progressions and lovely melodies" and recommends that parents may enjoy the music.[2] A review in People called it "musically monotonous", but with good lyrics.[3]
