Critical reception

edit

According to The Detroit News, "Jessie James Decker possesses one of the finest voices in country music today, which she showcases in such grand style on this six-track EP. The music ranges from the cutesy 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"' to a Springsteen-worthy version of "'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town'. Yet, our top pick on the album is the gorgeous take on "'Away In a Manger.'"[5]
