Editorial Review:
This is a real sleeper of an album, literally. Smooth-jazz musicians--including Peter White, Dave Koz, Norman Brown, David Benoit, and others--play music here to put babies to sleep. Fans of New Age music, specifically what came out of the Pacific Northwest in the '80s, may find many of these 14 tracks reminiscent of that period. Long-time listeners of smooth-jazz radio may be reminded of the kind of ethereal, spacey music that was played in the early days of the format. Many of the songs are as obvious as Brian Culbertson's somnambulating "Brahms' Lullaby" and Koz's "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," but some are inspired choices with creative arrangements and strong performances. Koz and his brother Jeff shine on the Beatles' title tune and the other Lennon/McCartney chestnut, "Blackbird." Brown's take on James Taylor's "You Can Close Your Eyes" is also moving, while not straying from the stillness of the concept. Perhaps the standout track is the superb performance of vocalist John Stoddart on Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely." --Mark Ruffin

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - not something children will appreciate
Maybe it is a good album for these newage or jazz fans, but it is not a good album for children. This album is rather bland, and have a quality of strong resonance. It makes the sound unclear and dark, and hard to listen to.
Rating:  - Beautiful!
I got this CD when I was pregnant. I listened to it each afternoon while I took a nap. When my baby was born, I continued to play it for him at nap and sleeptime. Both my husband and i laughed because we could hear it playing over the monitor and it would put us happily and peacefully asleep! We still love it 16 months later and play it every day.
Rating: - Must buy this for baby and you!
I purchased this CD when my son was born three years ago and we listened to it everyday for at least the first year of his life. I would play it during naptime and it is by far my favorite baby CD. It's soothing and sentimental. After searching my entire house for weeks trying to find our copy when baby #2 was born, I ordered another from Amazon since my search left me empty handed. My little girl is so relaxed listening to this compilation and since I already mentioned how sentimental this disc ... Read More
Rating: - We love this CD!
My boys are 3 & 4 years old. I received this CD as a gift when I had my first child and had to buy my 2nd a copy for his room too. We have played it every night since each of them was born. It is the most relaxing and beautiful CD.
Last year I moved to Australia and the CD would not work in Australian CD players. I bought other lullaby CD's and they all were awful compared to this one. After trying to contact the artist to see if they had an Australian region CD-- I finally ended up ... Read More
Rating:  - Compilation
Maybe I didn't read the description close enough, but I got the impression this album was all Dave Koz, instead it seems like a compilation with Koz on maybe three tracks at most. There's some nice pieces on it (Isn't She Lovely stands out) but overall I really wanted more of a saxophone type album.
