As she did with Unforgettable, Natalie Cole again follows her in father's footsteps with a Christmas recording. Although this does not have the same 'classic' quality of her dad's The Christmas Album, it is a fine outing. Performing with either a big band or small group, Ms. Cole performs a combination holiday classics along with some lesser known tunes such as "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot" and "No More Blue Christmas." ~ Robert Taylor

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (11/18/94, pp.102-103) - "...made the usual yuletide tunes brassy and bustling....Cole's voice stays as warm and toasty as a hot toddy....she covers her dad's "The Christmas Song (Chesnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"..." - Rating: B
