The Allmusic review by Stacia Proefrock awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "The adventurous parents who actually play this music for their child may be horrified to discover how much the little baby genius actually likes it. For those who are childless or simply less brave, this volume provides fascinating candy for adult ears."[2]

Personnel
gollark: Horrible as in inconsistent.
gollark: Not in that file but whatever.
gollark: ```luafunction Element:calcSize(queue, stack) if self.finalizeSize then self.parent.container = self.parent.container + self.container self.finalizeSize = nil return end if self.parent then self.container = new(class.ElementRect)(self.parent.container) self.finalizeSize = true else self.container = new(class.ElementRect)(nil, self.browserObject.request.page.window, nil, 0, 0) end stack:push(self.container) if self.window then stack:push(new(class.ElementRect)(self.container, self.window)) end if self.parent then queue:push(self) end for i=#self.children, 1, -1 do queue:push(self.children[i]) endend```
gollark: Also, this is not "compiling".
gollark: The indentation is *horrible* and so's the lack of comments.
