REVIEWS:

All Music Guide
By Roch Parisien
Rating: 3 stars/5 stars

Pretensions to high opera on "O Holy Night" and a horrid danceclub take on "Joy To The World". On the positive side, her co-penned (one of three) "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is a well-crafted Phil Spector tribute, with Beach Boys-style harmonies, jangling bells, and sleigh-ride pace, injecting one of the few bits of exuberant fun in this otherwise vanilla set.
