Reception [ edit ]

Allmusic found that the mix of Muppet Show and Muppet movie music to be off-putting, saying, "Many listeners may find that the paltry amount of material from The Muppet Show merely whets their appetite for more. The soundtracks (apart from The Muppet Movie ) don't pack the same combination of energy, laughs, and pathos that the TV show did; they try too hard to be statements or big emotional moments and lack the effortless grace of The Muppet Show ." ^[1]
