Reviews:
"Part of Capitol's Icon compilation series, this 2013 collection offers 11 classic performances of classic Christmas tunes by vocal idol Frank Sinatra. Capturing some of his (arguably) best Christmas performances, including his deeply yearning take on Jimmy Webb's heavy "Whatever Happened to Christmas" from 1968, the recordings span nearly 30 years, from a bright 1948 rendition of "Jingle Bells" to the sighing nostalgia of 1975's "Christmas Memories." Ubiquitous favorites include "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Mistletoe and Holly," which Sinatra co-wrote." Allmusic review by Marcy Donelson.
Released in 1957, the same year as Elvis Presley’s hit Christmas album, Sinatra’s first Christmas record is like a conservative op-ed in response to the King’s subtly radical bumrush. It’s the essence of Eisenhower’s America, bottled and giftwrapped with a red and white bow on top. This was the fourth album Sinatra recorded in a very good year, and he sings like he has the universe effortlessly balanced on the brim of his hat. At times the arrangements and back-up singing get in the way. But when he taps the nostalgic tug of ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ and ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” it’s mistletoe magic.” Rolling Stone.
