Editorial Review:
Holidays with Harry and his 2008 release, What A Night! A Christmas Album. Harry Connick, Jr. is an accomplished singer, pianist, and actor who emerged in the late 1980s as a Sinatra-style crooner for a new generation. As a musician, his influences include Bebop, New Orleans Jazz, and big-band swing. His score for the film When Harry Met Sally brought him national acclaim and an Oscar. He has appeared in many films and he is known for his Pop music as well.
What A Night! A Christmas Album Reviews:
Bought This CD Last XMas Season...I'd Give It A B+ Overall!! 
2009-12-16 - I've been a fan of Harry Connick Jr. since 1991, I have quite a few of his CD's
and respect his musicianship immensely as well as his forays into acting.
When I bought this CD during the 2008 Christmas season, I liked 75% of the tracks,
while others lagged and took away from the overall good spirit of the album I thought.
"The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" is defintely a stand out and opens the CD beautifully.
I won't dwell on the lackluster songs other than to say that this CD was probably culled from
past sessions of Christmas material. But there are enough good songs on here for me to recommend
it as an addition to your 2009 Christmas music collection.
I am listening to it now as I type this!
Disappointingly overdone 
2009-12-09 - What a disappointment. I have heard Harry Connick Jr. sing some beautiful Christmas songs before, but the arrangements on this album were severely overdone and often made no sense. I think the highlight of the album was his duet w/ his daughter on Winter Wonderland and it still left me feeling cheated. I was most disappointed in "Let There Be Peace on Earth", one of my all time favorites, which was so off key and hacked up, it was almost unrecognizable. I can see "jazzing" up the standards, but again, the arrangements were just over the top and instrumentation riffs, often over done and unnecessary.
Next time, I will be sure to listen to the album for free before spending any money on it.
Great CD and Service 
2009-10-10 - I would use this seller again. Both of my purchases were shipped in the same bag. I did not have to wait for two packages. The Music CD'S were mailed fast and were in great shhape
excellent
