Lullabies lend themselves to woozy re-creations, a sort of endless repetition that flags under the weight of the concept (putting kids to bed for their much-needed sleep) and the lack of weight accorded to the music. You might expect a Disney lullaby collection to be on a par with the most mediocre collections, but this one is really a fine set. The tunes are standard--from the famous "Brahms Lullaby" to "All the Pretty Little Horses"--but they're uniformly excellent and creative, staying within the realm of acoustic music that sounds and feels organic. These are Disney-related tunes, for the most part, so "Stay Awake" is here, as is the whimsical "Sleep, Daddy, Sleep." Musically, the set is varied, steering away from a repetition of instrumentation or delivery. That makes it easily entertaining enough for back-to-back listens, which any parent will be asked for with this collection. --Andrew Bartlett

Childhood Memories:
I love this Cd! My mom would play this when I was a baby and it was just one of those things that could knock me out pretty quick ^_^. We still have the cassette and I still play it- and I'm 15 now! A+!
ok..but a little boring:
I thought we would enjoy the lullabies on this CD, but once we got the CD and listened to the songs, we felt they were a little boring.
Product never received:
I wish I could review this product but it never arrived and contacting Amazon is impossible. This seems to be the only way that I might even get their attention. The order is in dispute with my credit card at this time
Beautiful:
I first heard this music in 1995 when visiting my sister. She would play it everynight for my niece when she went to bed and it was beautiful. This version of "When You Wish Upon A Star" is the best I have ever heard. When my sister-in-law became pregnant, I knew I had to get this tape for them so I went on a hunt and was so happy to find it here. I have no children of my own but this tape stayed in my head for 13yrs. - I think that says something.
