4.0 out of 5 stars A nice surprise, August 24, 2006

By	Rogue Trader "Gabrielle" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

I originally bought this cd because I'm a big fan of Ewan McGregor. Although I love the song he sings (Sade's "The Sweetest Gift") I was quite surprised when I heard all the other celebs singing their versions of their favourite lullabyes. I was particularly impressed with Scarlett Johansson's voice as she sang "Summertime". As a Beatles fan aswell I love the fact that two of their songs were included, those being "Golden Slumbers" and "Good Night". This is great CD to play if you want to relax and shut the world out for a little while. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music, April 27, 2006

By	Lit Lover "page" - See all my reviews

This CD is one beautiful, relaxing song after another. My 3-year old got this dreamy look on her face. And most of the voices are not what you would expect. My favorite unexpected singers are Scarlett Johansen, Lucy Lawless and Teri Hatcher. All very tender. You go, girls!

4.0 out of 5 stars The talented people involved in the making of this cd produced a classic in a genre of its own., May 10, 2006

You know I would like to ask the big record execs to take a look at the baby boomer demographic, and endless number of parents in their 30's and 40's,and wise up after being pathetically lacking in providing product for the above gigantic market.
This cd is surprisingly wonderful. It doesn't matter what kind of music you usually listen to...you will like this. If you are a parent you will love it.
