Critical reception
Stephen Eddins from AllMusic found that the album "includes an attractive sampling of traditional carols, classical pieces, and newer repertoire [...] Soloist David Archuleta is featured on six of the tracks [...] The choir and the Orchestra at Temple Square perform with their traditional fullness and warmth. The album should be of special interest to Archuleta's fans and listeners looking for a mix of standard carols and newer Christmas music." [3]
