Heather Phares of Allmusic doesn't believe Kids Bop 4 offers "anything that a mix of the original songs ... wouldn't provide equally well." Phares continues to question the suitably of kids singing along to songs such as "3 Doors Down's morbid 'When I'm Gone', or Justin Timberlake's vindictive 'Cry Me a River'," but admits the cover of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi" is "a fairly good re-creation of the song" and thinks "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte "has enough punky energy to appeal to kids."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
