In a review of Sleepy Bears, Booklist wrote: "As in Koala Lou (1988), Fox depicts the comfort and security of family without ever resorting to the syrup of many "I love you" books for preschoolers". School Library Journal called it a cleverly written bedtime book, while Kirkus Reviews found it "a bewitching collection of sleepy time rhymes".

Sleepy Bears has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly, Reading Time, and Australia's Parents.
