Critical reception
James Christopher Monger of Allmusic made a review: The soundtrack for Disney's A.N.T. Farm, a television sitcom that follows the misadventures of a group of gifted middle school students (Advanced Natural Talents) as they navigate their way through high school, features ten tracks, including the program's catchy theme song, "Exceptional." Most of the tunes, all of which fall into the teen pop/rock genre, feature China Anne McClain, who portrays an 11-year-old musical prodigy named Chyna Parks, as well as cast members Stefanie Scott and Carlon Jeffery. The last two cuts, "Perfect Mistake" and "Electronic Apology," are performed by China and her siblings, who have their own album under the McClain Sisters moniker.
