Reviews
- "For this Christmas jazz album, Harry Connick, Jr. emphasizes his vocals (his piano playing is quite secondary) as he sings ten familiar Christmas songs plus four of his somewhat forgettable originals while joined by a big band, a string section, and background singers. The results are reasonably pleasing, but of little interest to jazz listeners." - Allmusic
- "High points include a punchily swinging 'Sleigh Ride' and a playful 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' in which Mr. Connick sings call-and-response with a children's chorus. There are also some heavy-handed moments; the most glaring is Mr. Connick's turgid, dissonant string arrangement for 'What Child Is This?' But on the whole, the album maintains a delightful balance between fun and reverence." - The New York Times
