What The Critics Say
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen host a girl-powered holiday celebration on Cool Yule: A Christmas Party With Friends, and put a pop twist on ten holiday favorites like "White Christmas," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." A new song, "I Do Believe It's Christmas Eve," gets the album off to a festive, youthful start. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
Part of the Olsen twins' musical party series, You're Invited to a Ballet Party features songs from Ballet Party, Costume Party, and Mall Party. Appropriately enough, the Ballet Party songs -- such as "Dancing Your Dreams," "Practice, Practice, Practice," and "Butterflies in Your Stomach" -- are some of the prettiest songs the girls have recorded, and the Tchaikovsky medleys that surround them add a playful but still refined vibe. Meanwhile, "Meet You at the Mall," "Food Court," and "Decisions, Decisions" capture the fun of a major shopping spree at a huge mall. The cute "Ice Cream Crazy" and "Honky Tonk Hip Hop" are some of the other highlights of this album, which will please fans of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's video series. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Part of the Olsen twins' musical party series, Birthday Party features songs about all kinds of parties, as well as songs from Mary-Kate and Ashley's video Campout Party. Songs like "Moon Bounce Madness," "Pool Party," "Makeover Machine," and "Screamin', Steamin', Slammin', Jammin Really Scary Rides" offer plenty of festive fun, while "The Bare Necessities" and "Critters on My Crackers" capture some of the fun of staying in the great outdoors. The fun, hip-hoppy "Raptor," "Lazy Rainy Afternoon," and "If We Ran the Navy" are some of the other highlights from this album, which should please fans of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's videos. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Another of the Olsen twins' earliest efforts, Mary-Kate and Ashley's 1993 album, I Am the Cute One, features a hipper sound than Brother for Sale, but offers a similar mix of old and new songs and quirky skits. "Double Up" lends a hip-hop flavor to a jump-rope song, while the title track gives a poppy twist to sibling rivalry. Songs like "Ida Know," "One Buffalo, Two Buffali," and "No One Tells the President What to Do" and sketches like "The Popcorn Tree" and "The Backwards Song Box" offer some of the twins' finest moments up to that point. I Am the Cute One offers a refreshingly silly dose of fun and is probably the best of the albums Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen recorded as young children. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
Part of the Olsen twins' musical party series, You're Invited to a Sleepover Party features songs from Sleepover Party, Case of the Funhouse Mystery, Hawaiian Beach Party, and Case of the Hotel Who Done It. By the time they recorded the songs for this album, the twins were a bit older than they were when albums like I Am the Cute One and Brother for Sale came out, and the songs and singing have a more pulled-together, but still playful sound. Their paean to video games, "Video Monster," "Gimme Pizza," and "Pullin' an All Nighter" capture the giddy fun of a sleepover, while "Wild Wet Wacky Wonderful World" and "Sand Sand Glorious Sand" express the joys of frolicking on the beach. Almost a mini-greatest-hits collection unto itself, You're Invited to a Sleepover Party will please fans of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's video series. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
