Stylistically, the '70s permeates the album, taking cues from influential funk bands like Sly & the Family Stone, Parliament, and Funkadelic. The first track,Smile, dares us to have the audacity to share our happiness by shining our inner light through genuine, heartfelt smiles. Lyrically the band describes sharing joy as a radical act that is contagious. Should we all be so lucky to catch this contagion! This track is followed byParty Train(not to be mistaken with the Misery Bus), where everyone climbs aboard and dusts off their dancing shoes. By the end of the second track, the party train's left the station and the festivities are in full swing. The listeners experience a feeling of joyous abandon and everyone is included.

WOW! This [Funny Faces] has got to be the best kid-friendly CD I've heard in years! The songs are so well written, from goofy, to catchy, to insightful, and back to goofy! My boy just loved it, and so did I! In particular, the elevator song and Mr. Pickle are smash hits! The banter before and during the songs is just too funny! Well done guys!

Midwest Book Review
Songs from the Rockness Monsters tend to linger in your subconscious until you're humming them without realizing it. In that regard, "Woodpecker" follows in the pattern of "Squirrel Fight." Speaking of a Parisian vibe, "Mona Lisa" explains the body/mind connection between hearing music and engaging our bodies to move, dance, and smile mysteriously.

The music is playful, the vocals strong, but it is the clever and often funny lyrics that so fully win children over.

Momma's Bacon
…album that mixes playfulness with an edge. Rock music and silly songs that make the butts in the front seat move to the same beat as the feet in the back seat.
Imagination Parade, WFDU
…has a friendly open voice, which is tonally reminiscent of Elvis Costello, with some of Randy Newman's skillful delivery.
