"Guaraldi well understood his end-goal when soundtracking the Charlie Brown features: to capture the mood and action of the story while remaining upbeat, even when there was tension in the plot points. He succeeded brilliantly in this task. You don't have to know or have seen the cartoon to love this music." - Marilyn Lester/The New York City Jazz Record, Nov. 2023
