MOG Editorial Review
Regardless of your opinion of surf-pop troubadour Jack Johnson's more adult-oriented work, his material inspired by the monkey beloved by generations of children is hard to assail. Bringing upbeat summer vibes to the project, along with his trademark "laziness," the mixture may not appeal to all adults, but little ones are sure to be captivated. Frequent collaborators like Ben Harper and G. Love contribute songs that easily mesh with the Johnson's acoustic pop-rock material. Laid-back Johnson gives this film the music it deserves, and kiddies something to smile about.

AMG Review of Singalongs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George
James Christopher Monger
All Music GuidePerennial surfer dude/singer/songwriter Jack Johnson lends his voice to the eternally silent Curious George on this collection of "Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies," original material built around the famous monkey and his strange obsession with "the Man with the Yellow Hat." Universal Pictures couldn't have picked a better collaborator for this soundtrack to the #Curious George film, as Johnson's easygoing delivery and breezy demeanor match George's silent curiosity to a T. Fellow songwriters Ben Harper, G. Love, and Matt Costa contribute three songs to the predominantly children-oriented affair, while Johnson and band give up an island rendition of the White Stripes' "We're Going to Be Friends," as well as the umpteenth cover of Schoolhouse Rock!'s "Three Is the Magic Number." Heady stuff? Not exactly, but there's not an ounce of pretense to the project, making it a fun, safe bet for kids and a forgettable -- yet not entirely unpleasant -- piece of escapism for adults.
