Critical reception
AllMusic summed up their review as follows: "... On this brief but completely charming EP ... [Shimabukuro] takes six songs by a wide variety of artists (Judy Garland, Cyndi Lauper, two by the Beatles, Sarah McLachlan, even Led Zeppelin) and gives them quiet, tasteful arrangements that draw much more attention to his musicianship and to the songs themselves than they do to the fact that he's playing a ukulele."[3]
