"The notion that jazz singers love Disney tunes is hardly new, the relationship stretching from Johnny Mercer's 1947 rendition of Song of the South's Oscar-winning "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" to Steve Tyrell's Disney Standards, from 2006. Never, though, has so ambitious or smartly executed a Disney-themed collection of vocal jazz been assembled as this. Recorded in 2014 and 2015 across sessions spanning London, Paris, New York and L.A., Jazz Loves Disney is overcrowded with A-listers, all in top form".

"Walt Disney isn't the first celebrity you think of when you hear the word jazz, but he was a lifelong fan of the music and took great care when hiring composers for his films. Listeners of a certain age will be familiar with most of these songs, but this all-star compilation avoids the taint of nostalgia with arrangements that reinvent even the most familiar tunes".
