Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - p.114

3 stars out of 5 -- "Stevens' fragile banjo-and-tenor caroling is lovely, and several of his own songs belong in the Xmas canon..."

Entertainment Weekly - p.85

"[His] rare combination of deep religiosity and dark whimsy makes SONGS FOR CHRISTMAS the season's most thrilling holiday release." -- Grade: A

Q - p.152

3 stars out of 5 -- "Amassing 42 tracks, from the traditional to whimsical originals, it's testament to his prolific work rate. There's not shortage of seasonal cheer either..."

Uncut - p.98

4 stars out of 5 -- "The tone is generally one of mild encouragement....The tracks offering a slightly askance look at the festive season are most entertaining..."

CMJ - p.5

"[T]racks meant to bring peace on earth and goodwill towards men....There isn't much not to like here."
Paste (magazine) - "This is Sufjan Stevens at his most freewheeling and joyful, and it offers not only an unorthodox soundtrack to the season but another opportunity to trace the musical evolution of one of our greatest living songwriters."

Record Collector (magazine) - pp.94-95

3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t would be a great pleasure to hear these 42 tracks at any time of year....There are banjos, unexpected synths and, of course, sleigh bells galore."
