Hot Potatoes! The Best Of The Wiggles holds a solid position in children's entertainment, demonstrated by its IMDb rating of 6.5/10, reflecting general approval among viewers. Critics and parents appreciate the movie's clear focus on early childhood development through music and movement. Common Sense Media highlights its "bright, engaging visuals and repetitive songs perfect for preschoolers," praising its ability to keep young viewers entertained and active. However, some reviews note that the content is very much tailored for its niche audience, which may not hold appeal for older children or adults beyond nostalgic fans. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an aggregate score for this particular compilation, but audience comments often emphasize the familiar, comforting presence of Greg Page and how the collection revitalizes classic Wiggles songs. While not groundbreaking in terms of new content or narrative, Hot Potatoes! stays true to The Wiggles’ formula of combining education with fun, maintaining its reputation as a trusted choice for families seeking wholesome entertainment. Overall, it caters well to its intended audience, despite lacking originality or appeal outside the Wiggles' primary fanbase.
