Editorial Review:
It's difficult to conceive of a less imaginative project; song selection, arrangements, even album title all emanate from the stock Yuletide script. Then again, Christmas isn't about innovation, is it? It's about smiles and curling up by the fire and listening to the same songs over and over. For those purposes, McBride's holiday offering will suit you just dandy. Her lovely voice is capable of enormous power and delicate nuance. Dennis Burnside's arrangements don't match up in most cases, although the perky, harp-filled "Let It Snow" and the dark-toned "Away in a Manger" and "What Child Is This" are more attractive than the others. Still, even McBride's substantial pipes can't rescue this record from the doldrums; it overtly distances itself from the whole of her country-music roots. --Marc Greilsamer
White Christmas Reviews:
Familiar Favorites 
2008-08-10 - This wonderful Chrismas album from Martina McBride is perfect for occasions when family and friends gather for the Holidays. Some failed to appreciate its beauty, pegging it as uninspired or bland. What it is, however, is beautiful. Traditional rather than innovative, it has no equals for those times when you simply want to hear familiar Christmas songs with lovely arrangements sung by a beautiful voice.
McBride's voice seems made for Christmas, its power and ability to shade emotion a flawless fit for familiar Christmas classics. There are wonderful Christmas albums out there with their own special place in our routines when this most special of seasons comes around each year. But Christmas is also very much about the familiar and nostalgic, which is captured here by Martina McBride.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas -- Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! -- The Christmas Song -- O Holy Night -- Silver Bells -- Away in a Manger -- White Christmas -- What Child Is This? -- I'll Be Home for Christmas -- Silent Night
There is nothing new here, and there wasn't meant to be. But what is here is beautifully done and a reminder that it's Christmastime once again. This recording is like walking by a store window and seeing the first Christmas display of the season. If no frills means just the heart of the matter, then this fits that bill. A nostalgic and traditional Christmas album from a great voice.
I didn't like it... 
2006-11-15 - I just couldn't get used to this album, but I really liked the Christmas albums from Lynn Anderson and Ralna English.
Perfect!
1999-04-07 - This is one amazing disc! She shines and I love it
martina's enthusiasm covers this genre extremely well.
1999-02-17 - I was reluctant to purchase another Christmas album but I had recently become a fan, after purchasing Evolution, with the beautiful song, Valentine. My enthusiasm was greatly increased when I watched the White House Christmas Show. Her rendition of "The Christmas Song" was beautiful.
I waited patiently for her to perform and I was not dissapointed. I am now a loyal fan, forever.
MARTINA'S VOICE IS SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!1
1998-12-01 - I bought this CD the day it came out and have listened to it daily since then. She sings all of the classic Christmas songs and does an amazing job. This is one of the best Christmas albums I've ever heard.
