Heather Phares of AllMusic said that Kidz Bop is a "very literal singalong album, featuring 18 remakes of contemporary hits with a chorus of kids singing along with the hooks." [5] WOCR gave the album a 2/5 rating, saying that the album "feels like the original songs with a layer of crystalized brown sugar over them", and that "there's more energy in Mr. Bloopy's theme song than this whole album combined." [6] Sputnikmusic said that the album "is one of those products that no one seems to care about. Not like we should or anything." [7]
