The album features Kelly Clarkson, Jesse McCartney and Raven-Symoné.

Anne Hathaway also performs three songs on this album including one duet with Jesse McCartney.

Writing for Allmusic, Heather Phares noted, "Though the film is technically a Miramax offering, the soundtrack is downright Disney, gathering songs from the studio's stable of prefab teen pop singers".

She praised Kelly Clarkson, who "out-sings them all on 'Respect', which, despite its canned-sounding accompaniment, makes the most of her voice".

She concluded, "Most of the [album] plays like a souped-up school musical, although that does give it sort of an awkward charm."
