Critical reception

Allmusic said "This collection features an assortment of beloved songs from classic Disney tales of love and enchantment performed by the biggest names in pop music. Standouts include former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera’s career-making ballad, "Reflection," from MULAN; Raven-Symone delivering an almost brassy take on the always uplifting "Under the Sea" from THE LITTLE MERMAID; and delightful Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams's sprightly take on a "Happy Working Song" from ENCHANTED."[1]
