"As beautiful a disc of precious Christmas music as you are likely to hear this or any year." (MusicWeb Nov 2009)
"The singing emphasises prevision and an exceptionally beautiful blend, presented in an unforced and often pensive manner. Dynamics are carefully attended to ... A group worth getting to know."
CD Scout, Internet Edition
"Once in a while a disc arrives that you stop "reviewing" and instead listen to for pure unalloyed pleasure. This is one such disc - I cannot underline enough what a box of delights it has proven to be. The Kansas City Chorale is simply glorious. They consist of six voices per line in the standard SATB format. Their intonation, attack, ensemble, vocal blending and all-round precision is flawless. As beautiful a disc of precious Christmas music as you are likely to hear this or any year." (MusicWeb Nov 2009)
