Critical reception

edit

AllMusic found that "Sweat knows something about contemporary R&B, and his smooth loverman sound, with just a touch of light hip-hop flavor, is all over Christmas of Love [...] With the exception of "The Christmas Song," Sweat steers clear of traditional material, opting instead for narratives of romantic love placed in a holiday context such as "Be Your Santa Claus" and "Under the Tree." Sweat's singing sounds as good as it did in the '80s, and this disc should provide a soundtrack for lovers looking to generate a Yuletide spark."[1] Herald & Review remarked that "tracks such as “Party Christmas” and “Be Your Santa Claus” create the impression that Christmas is just one more occasion for a boudoir workout."[2]
