Critical reception

Allmusic wrote "If you and your kids want to hear some of the most memorable songs from Disney films, both classic and contemporary, done up in a modern teen-pop style, try Disneymania 4. For instance, Cinderella never sounded so danceable as on the winsome Ashley Tisdale's club-friendly "Someday My Prince Will Come," and the rock redux of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" by Miley Cyrus will inspire many a double take. For parents with fond memories of cinematic classics, or for tweens with a crush on Teddy Geiger or the Cheetah Girls, here's the disc to bridge the generation gap." [1]
