Andy Kellman from Allmusic found that "it's not a given that the disc will become part of each listener's annual holiday listening tradition, but it's all pleasant and enjoyable, and there are several moments where it is obvious that LaBelle is giving everything she has, rather than coasting through [...] Jam, Lewis, and LaBelle should seriously consider repurposing the very upbeat "Nativity" – one of four originals – into a song with an everyday lyrical theme. It's too well-made to be suitable only for once-a-year rotation."[3]
