Fifty-word reviews
There’s no big surprise here. M. Ward and Zooey sound more polished this time around the bend, but some of the alt-retro charm is less stunning. Blame it on everyone else for sounding similar or blame it on She and Him for not switching it up. Either way, rich…but conventional.
Simple arrangements and subdued, delicate harmonies repackage holiday standards and obscurities in the "new old-fashioned way." Overly romanticized yet undeniably charming, the album is retro vintage chic, content to radiate a hot cocoa glow (albeit spiked with something fashionable and cheap) rather than deign to indulge in boisterous Christmas cheer.
