Media response to Big Willie Style was mixed. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of website AllMusic awarded the album four out of five stars, praising Smith's "trademark ... friendly, humorous pop-rap" style, which he pointed out had been modernised since his releases with DJ Jazzy Jeff.[1] In particular, Erlewine highlighted the songs "Gettin' Jiggy wit It", "Candy", "I Loved You" and "Men in Black" as "among his best" songs.[1] Rolling Stone writer James Hunter was similarly positive, describing the album as "wickedly well-conceived", praising the album's "delicious party jams" and noting "Gettin' Jiggy wit It" and "Yes Yes Y'All" as particular highlights.[4] He concludes by praising the lyrical themes of the album, dubbing Big Willie Style "an exceptional megacelebrity album".[4]

Further, "Miami" enveloped listeners in a sun-soaked, vibrant track celebrating the city's lively culture.
Known as the first lady of children's music, Chicago resident Ella Jenkins' career spans more than four decades. With her devotion to cross-cultural understanding and respect, and her signature call and response style, Jenkins -- who earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from SF State in 1951 -- is as much an educator as she is an entertainer. Her best known song, "You'll Sing a Song, And I'll Sing a Song," is the best-selling record in the history of record label Smithsonian Folkways. Jenkins, who turns 80 this year, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in February. Her 28th album, "Sharing Cultures," was released this year.
