"McCutcheon is not out to prove anything, only to entertain...A fine album. -Susan Stewart, Entertainment Weekly
"Whether gently hammering a dulcimer on the title cut or nearly rocking out on the traditional "Over In the Meadow," McCutcheon performs his second children's record with spirit and a backup band that's sensitive to the material." -Parents' Choice
"The 1988 release features McCutcheon's exquisite world music arrangements and authentic instrumentation. It is the only album for children I have heard that exceeds merely quoting musical genres: it embodies them completely. McCutcheon serves up a spicy combination of South African beat, calypso, reggae, bluegrass, string band music, rock 'n' roll, new age folk-jazz, and Latin American-influenced music." -Acoustic Guitar
