"A gorgeously rendered holiday-themed effort, In Winter finds singer/songwriter Katie Melua backed by the 25-member Gori Women's Choir ... These are warmly arranged, beautifully executed recordings that capture the stark, introspective beauty of a rural Eastern Europe in winter".

"With In Winter, Melua certainly achieved her goal of creating an album that evokes in the listener, images of the depths of winter. Existing fans of Melua's may initially be disconcerted by her musical direction here, but In Winter is certainly a well-executed and soothing work of folk-pop - just maybe not quite in the expected ways".
Vurdering 4/5.

"På »In Winter« styrer Melua for det meste uden om både »bjældeklangspop« og selvhøjtidelig julemesse ... Der er ingen sne eller frossen, skøjteklar flod på Joni Mitchellcoveret »River« og til sidst skrider kæresten som bekendt. Desværre udfordrer instrumenteringen ikke i samme grad. Det georgiske Gori Women's Choir assisterer Melua på stille sange, der holder sig til akustisk guitar, lidt klaver og xylofon. Korets elegante polyfoni løfter dog »In Winter« på de georgiske folkesange og den let soulede og forbrugskritiske »A Time to Buy«. Så blev det alligevel et solidt julealbum".
