Critical reception[]

Louder gave the album two and a half stars, saying, "if you’re hoping to hear any trace of the rock stylings that made Perry famous, then it’s probably best skip this gooey, Buble-esque affair."[3]

RIFF Magazine said, "Does the world need a Steve Perry Christmas record? Beyond the shadow of any human doubt … no. It doesn’t."[4]
