Rick Anderson on Allmusic.com gave the album four stars out of five. Anderson expressed surprise that this was Wilson's first Christmas album and described it as "sweet-spirited and gently eclectic as you'd expect...Wilson manages to keep things both interesting and fun. The fact that her voice remains as powerful and nuanced as ever doesn't hurt, either."[1] The album was also positively reviewed in Billboard by Melinda Newman who commented that "The party to attend this year is at Wilson's house...just a collection of traditional tunes delivered with beautiful understatement by Wilson..."[3]
