The IMDb Screening Room notes that while critics haven’t been lavish in their praise for Disney’s Home on the Range, most do love the music. The score and songs were created by lyricist Glenn Slater and 8-time Academy Award winning composer Alan Menken, the most honored living Oscar winner. “I can easily imagine Gene Autry performing any of them, including the yodeling number,” writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times, “and wasn’t too surprised to find out that the Sons of the Pioneers [Roy Rogers’ back-up group] starred in a 1946 movie with the same name.” Joel Siegel on Good Morning America calls it Menken’s “best score since Beauty and the Beast.” Gene Seymour in Newsday regards the tunes as “amiable and witty,” while Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Daily News says that the film offers “enough catchy songs to make you want to buy the soundtrack (and tolerate your kids listening to it a couple of hundred times).”
