In addition to traditional Christmas songs, it also contains the original Mancini composition, Carol For Another Christmas, the theme of the 1964 television film of the same name. The album peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200 in 1970. The initial Billboard review from October 29, 1966 wrote that "It's an important addition to the Christmas shelf because Mancini's arrangements are as fresh and familiar as as the material is familiar and lasting." The album was reviewed by Stephen Thomas Erlewine at Allmusic who described it as an "ideal holiday record" and added that "...the album is filled with the lush arrangements that are his aural signature, and they sound perfect when matched with these 11 Christmas medleys and carols. It is a warm, appealing record that blends easily into the background, making it a good choice for holiday gatherings of all sorts."
