      Critical reception



      Awarding the album four stars at CCM Magazine, Grace Aspinwall states, "the heart of this album lies in its gorgeous arrangements." Lins Honeyman, giving the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, writes, "a varied release that pushes Christmas music forward whilst acknowledging the genre's glorious past." Reviewing the album from AllMusic, Thom Jurek says, "a collection of (mostly) traditional carols and hymns with worship choruses and cadenzas woven in for maximum effect."
