Critical reception

The Orlando Weekly found the album "uneven", but highlighted Tamia's and Jagged Edge's renditions.[3] In his review of the 1998 re-release, Marc Weingarten from Entertainment Weekly wrote that "why is the too-reverent yuletide offering 12 Soulful Nights of Christmas of slow jams from various R&B stars as stale as day-old fruitcake?" adding that "perhaps Dupri should’ve provided some nasty beats".[4]
