The Penguin Guide to Jazz |    [3] |
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 2½ stars stating, "It's Christmas Again is a project that for many did not work, but no matter how you slice it, an intriguing aside to Roach's discography. As he often mixed words with jazz, this is less ambitious than previous works, but could be looked upon as more than a little ambiguous, and certainly a cynical view of a time of the year that should be joyous, but for many is difficult."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented on the albums links with other material from around the same time: "anyone familiar with this period or who takes the time to listen to these Soul Notes in a structured way will find a great deal of cross-fertilization going on".[3]
