Reception

A review in The Atlantic Constitution said, "this Disney version sounds as bouncy as an orphan high on sugar".[1] While giving the album a "B", critic Kathy Janic said, "The delight here is Cumming, who in one song ('Easy Street'), plays Rooster as a wicked, wily, oily, blockheaded and endearing scamp."[1]

The Washington Post said that the 1999 film featured "a safe recasting", noting, "The whole thing feels a little smoothed out – dare we say Disneyfied? – and it's hard to hear 'The Hard-Knock Life' these days without Jay-Z's urban input."[2]
