Jennifer Chancellor of Tulsa World on Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Aerosmith:

Aerosmith’s long roster of rabble-rousing hits have never been said to put anyone to sleep. Until now.

…There are 12 songs here, including “Mama Kin,” “Dream On,” “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Sweet Emotion” “Angel” and “Rag Doll.” Warm xylophones, plinky keyboards, happy bells, flighty flutes, wonky coconut-like claps, crickets and frogs dance through these instrumental-only arrangements, which are perfect for wake-up or bedtime.

The slowed pace and ticking-time effects and frog chirps on “Walk This Way” and “Cryin’” add a sneaky vibe to the classics. The songs aren’t dark or eerie as much as they are unusual and unconventionally sweet.
