By Peter Durward Harris #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This was Reba's second Christmas album. It is very different from her first (Merry Christmas to you), which was firmly rooted in traditional country.

Reba sings a great mix of old and new songs on this album. The old classics are represented by I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus and Up on the housetop. Two contemporary songs that could yet become classics are Mary did you know and Till the season comes round again. Kenny Rogers had previously recorded both of them for his album, The gift, although Kathy Mattea (on her Good news album) was the original singer of Mary did you know.

I have not heard any of the other six songs anywhere else but they are certainly worth hearing. My favorites are the opening This is my prayer for you and the title track, although One child one day is not far behind and the others are also wonderful.

If you enjoy nineties pop-country music and you are looking for something festive, this will suit you ideally.

Reba is awesome in this album! 20 Nov 1999
By Justin Crawford - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a stellar Reba album. She deserves all the credit for the album. She is just great. All the songs will put you in a instant Christmas mood. Reba sings with emotion and feeling with a little bit of humor in this recording. Reba, you are the best!

CONTEMPORARY CHRISTMAS MEETS CLASSICAL...GREAT! 12 Jun 2000
By Jordan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
NOT MANY artists have career longevity (or guts) enough to put out two Christmas albums in one career; enter country's long-reigning queen, Reba McEntire (we're talking someone awards shows had to tell their members NOT to vote for because she was so dominant). This Christmas album is my favorite that I've ever heard. Reba, who arranged two tracks, flawlessly blends traditional carols (which she arranges) with powerful, contemporary Christmas songs. I listen to this album in August for goodness' sakes! The highlight of the album to me is "One Child, One Day," a song many love and some are unable to grasp the inner meaning; sometimes with more contemporary music we forget what all this Christmas business is about, the real SPIRITual meanings. Another powerful performance is Reba's fleckless "deliverance" of the half classic half carol "Mary, Did You Know?" Talk about a (Warning, cliche time!) tear jerker! She also turns in great performances on "The Secret Of Giving" and the delightful "This Is My Prayer For You." Highly recommended, not only will you get in the spirit of Christmas, but you'll understand more of the real SPIRIT of things! A great 5 stars.

A SMALL SAMPLING OF CHRISTMAS AND A BIG SAMPLING OF POP 22 Oct 2005
By cordelia - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Most of the songs here are just secular pop ballads. That they have Christmas themes is purely incidental and peripheral. The arrangements are lame and not holiday sounding at all. This one would be a waste to get.
