"If you want a disc of well-loved carols and one which offers the 'imprimatur' of the King's College Choir then this disc will serve you well. The choir is on fine form, the three Organ Scholars between them provide expert accompaniments to many of the carols and the performances have been well recorded. Personally, though I like all the pieces included here, I find this programme is a little bit too 'safe'. However, it's a generous selection of mostly traditional seasonal fare and if the programme appeals then you'll find it satisfyingly performed".

"The choir's glory remains its boy trebles, whose gleaming descants, vibrato-free production and tonal freshness are invariably the icing on the cake in these typically polished, debonair performances".

"This selection of 25 carols is exactly what one would hope for ... The selection does not ignore more recent carols - there are fine examples here from Bob Chilcott and John Rutter. Throughout, the singing is immaculate and full of unexaggerated expression ... This disc will doubtless be widely welcomed, not least for capturing the unique acoustic qualities of King's so well".
