Reception
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." 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..."
