Reception

edit

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Timothy Monger writing "the album plays like the soundtrack to some sort of unearthed educational filmstrip where science meets Santa" and characterizes the release as "a warmly intended yet moon-cold Christmas album that is still surprisingly pleasant".[2] Writing for Sputnikmusic, praise jimmy gave this release a 4.0 out of 5, calling it more reserved than the band's usual psychedelic rock and "going for a more reserved, peaceful sound this time around".[1]
