In his review of the 1982 Lamb's Theatre production, Mel Gussow wrote: "If the musical ["Snoopy!!!"] were nose-to-nose with Mr. (David) Garrison's performance, it would be a subject for celebration. Sadly, this sequel ...is a hand-me-down...the show meanders all over play-school country. The book, which is credited to three individual writers as well as a task force called 'Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates' is a pastepot of "Peanuts" dialogue that wanders into various other neighborhoods in order to accommodate the score."
