"Utilizing warm, accessible vocal tones, Keb Mo' gracefully navigates the lyrics of old standards like "Please Come Home For Christmas" in his comforting pop style on "Moonlight, Mistletoe & You". Shifting the mood, he and guitarist Akil Thompson light real blues fires on "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" and Koko Taylor's "Merry, Merry Christmas". Keb Mo' deserves an extra slice of gingerbread cake for daring to poke Mr. Claus in the belly with the witty, anti-consumerism anthem "Christmas Is Annoying"".
