AllMusic[2]

AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Christmas Wish a "clean, low-key affair, where her versions of traditional Christmas carols [...] are interspersed with brief instrumental interludes. Nothing here is too high-energy, it sometimes borders on the sleepy, but as background holiday mood music, it is effective."[2]
