The original soundtrack to the film Easter Parade was released by MGM Records as a set of four 10-inch 78-rpm shellac records and as a 10-inch 33-rpm long-play. The soundrack featured songs performed by Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford, Ann Miller and played by the Johnny Green Orchestra.

Billboard reviewed the album in its issue from 12 March 1949, giving it 72 points out of 100 (which indicated a "good" rating) and writing: "No subtle delineations here— no subtle singers, either — but forthright lyric bawling in the approved musical comedy tradition. The score is fair ranging from great old ones like 'Easter Parade' and 'Choo Choo" to the passable recent plug additions like 'It Only Happens' and 'Steppin' Out.' Album doesn't figure to be a world-beater, but should have a fair sale to movie fans, Berlin followers and admirers of Fred Astaire and the other non-singing singers represented here."
