Reviews

"[N]ot only do you have one of the best holiday albums in years, but easily the best album of Connick's career." --allmusic¹

"Connick sings and plays piano throughout the session, and his New Orleans jazz roots color the scenery indelibly. Much of the program recalls an era, over a hundred years ago, when street bands and outdoor urban performances were the norm. Connick persuades his band to keep it loose and informal." --All About Jazz²
