Heather Phares of AllMusic said that Kidz Bop 3, like the first two Kidz Bop albums, "offers as many moments of surreality as it does whimsical fun."[2] WOCR gave the album a 1.5/5 rating, saying "There's this thing where some of the songs have obviously way more effort put into them like some tracks are easily filler."[3]
