"Harper...proves that children's songs can be clever without being cute, with tunes like "Mango Walk" and "Ding Dong Dog."
- L.A. Parent Magazine

"Rhythms and rhymes play across the album in unpredictable, delightful ways."
- Billboard Magazine

"Another sprightly track is "Get The Rhythm," which I can see preschoolers bouncing and boogying to.... Harper excels when she takes traditional tunes and makes them her own, such as on "Mama's Kitchen" (based on "All Around The Kitchen") and the Jamaican classic "Mango Walk."
- Pulse!

"...joyful, hilarious and fresh... Fresh as in new, and fresh as in the way my mother meant it--cheeky, sassy and fun."
- People magazine, in a quote by Meryl Streep
