Review

This soundtrack from the stage show finds Barney, Baby Bop, and their kid pals together with Professor Tinkerputt, Mother Goose, and Old King Cole preparing a birthday surprise for BJ. Much of the material is familiar, from Barney standards like "The Rainbow Song"and "Barney Is a Dinosaur" to traditional favorites like "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." Others were written for this show. Regardless, they have that combination of zestfulness, unfailing good humor, and tenderheartedness that are Barney's hallmarks. That seems to drive some people bonkers, but for the thousands of little ones and their parents who enjoy the purple one and his pals, this is the next best thing to being there. ~ Ross Boissoneau, All Music Guide
