Rated 6/10

A pleasant Christmas album that brings you back to an older time.

Rated 8/10

I just wanna take this time to say Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you all have a great day

Rated 6/10

These are the most classy Christmas songs known to man I think. Most grown-ups have heard these so many times...
They are good for Christmas, but I would not listen to it outside that season

Rated 8/10

Even though Phil Spector is a horrible person, this album is full of very cheerful Christmas songs and I find it to be very enjoyable.

Rated 6/10

Would be amazing if it wasn't Christmas music. Christmas (baby please come home) goes unnecessarily hard for a Christmas song.

Years ago I was surprised to find that it's nigh impossible to find an artist that hasn't done at least one Christmas song. $$$

Rated 8/10

Always a listen during the Christmas times. Christmas Music may be cliché and overplayed and all that, but this album oozes atmosphere and good times, even if Phil Spector wasn't that good in delivering good times himself. The performances by the girls are amazing and the wall of sound works incredibly well for Christmas music, its like you're in a shopping mall in some feelgood Tim Allen Christmas Movie. The essential Christmas Album.

Rated 10/10

Okay, look. I hate Christmas music, but this is actually a decent album. Clearly Phil Spector sucks at being a human, but he is undeniably a musical genius, and he managed to make even me appreciate holiday tracks.

Rated 8/10

I’m no Scrooge… this album on Christmas morning was an excellent start to the day!

Rated 2/10

Having to listen to Christmas songs during Christmas is punishment enough. No thanks, I'll pass :-(

Rated 8/10

Pretty solid, nothing exemplary.

Rated 8/10

Great Christmas album. Among the best I’ve heard.

Rated 6/10

The songs are what they are (and Phil is who he is), but I do love that 'wall of sound' style, especially featured on classics from girl groups like The Ronettes and The Crystals. I'd take Nat King's Christmas album over this - I'm not all that into these jingly Holiday tunes - but this is worth a listen.

Rated 4/10

I've heard enough Christmas songs over the past month

Pissing me off

Merry Christmas fuckers

Rated 6/10

It's a fine holiday album. Certainly captures the mood.

Rated 6/10

It was a very much of the time concept. Its fine.

Rated 2/10

Good album for the holidays, but from a killer. So I can't listen without thinking that he killed someone.

Rated 8/10

cant argue with a good christmas album on christmas

Rated 8/10

I like to think that with that weirdly threatening ending in the arrangement on Santa Clause Is Coming To Town, Phil Spector was trying to tell us about his true nature.

Rated 8/10

A good Christmas album that has quite a few singles in constant rotation. Is it meant to be an album experience? Not at all (especially compared to a '5' like the Charlie Brown Xmas soundtrack). But good listen nonetheless and appreciate the staying power of some of these songs. 4/5

Rated 6/10

I just happened to get this one on actual Christmas! How serendipitous! I wouldn’t have wanted to listen to it any other day.
