The soundtrack for Toy Story received praise for its "sprightly, stirring score".[5] It received Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score and Best Original Song ("You've Got a Friend in Me"). Despite the album's critical success, the soundtrack only peaked at number 94 on the ''Billboard'' 200 album chart.[7] A cassette and CD single release of "You've Got a Friend in Me" was released on April 12, 1996, to promote the soundtrack's release.[1]

After it went out of print, the album was made available for purchase digitally in retailers such as iTunes.[6] The soundtrack, along with Newman's complete unreleased score for the film was remastered and reissued on July 17, 2015 as the tenth entry of The Legacy Collection series.
