*Elisabeth Vincentelli of
Amazon.com says, "The CD actually has a rather uniform tone, and mercifully it's a lovely one. Composer Mychael Danna is paired with the Denver band DeVotchKa, who perform his score and offer a few tunes of their own. Making excellent use of strings, tuba, andsqueezebox , they set a mood that echoes the movie's warmly idiosyncratic one."Amazon.com - [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FZESMQ "Amazon.com review"] by Elisabeth Vincentelli]
*Jonathan Jarry called the soundtrack "an intriguing experiment in smaller folk sounds with a slight Eastern European twist, an American polka for dysfunctional families and the malaise of life."Soundtrack.net - [http://www.soundtrack.net/soundtracks/database/?id=4352&vote=10 "Soundtrack.net review"] by Jonathan Jarry]Trivia
An edited version of "The Winner Is" was used in a Gerber commercial concerning childbirth.
