The album was recorded in Los Angeles at the same time that Armstrong filmed his brief appearance in the film Hello, Dolly!.[3]Disney Songs the Satchmo Way featured Armstrong's last trumpet recordings.[4] Armstrong had been personally asked by Walt Disney to make the album in 1966, although it was not completed until after Disney's death. The Disney music executive Jimmy Johnson recalled that "The dates with Louis were among the happiest I can remember. He had been quite ill but had gone on a rigorous diet. He was very thin but looked well and was full of energy". Armstrong later wrote to Camarata to say that "This goldarned "Wish Upon a Star" is so beautiful and more than that, man – I listen to that tune three or four times a night. Man, did you know I'm a doggoned long-time wishing cat? Well, I am man...I haven't enjoyed anything better than our recording sessions since – well I can't remember when".[5]
Scott Yanow reviewed the reissue of the album for Allmusic and wrote that these "One may not expect much from such songs as "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," "Whistle While You Work," and "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," but Armstrong's joyful vocals and occasional emotional trumpet really uplift the material. His rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star" is touching, and few of the songs (including "The Bare Necessities" and "Heigh-Ho") have never sounded livelier and more fun".[2]
