Critical reception
editBillboard published a review in the November 14, 1970 issue that said: "With the success of their TV show assured, the Brady Bunch makes their recording debut with a first rate collection of Christmas carols and songs. Their bright and appealing performance of "Jingle Bells", "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town", and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" are complemented by warm readings of "The Little Drummer Boy", "Silent Night", and "The First Noel". Should prove a solid sales item for this holiday season".[1]
