AllMusic[2]

Tim Sendra from AllMusic gave A Mary Mary Christmas a three and a half out of five stars rating. He found that "A Mary Mary Christmas is filled with plenty of joy and excitement," also noting: "While A Mary Mary Christmas is a solid addition to the holiday CD blizzard, a few more originals and fewer classics would have made it even more enjoyable."[2]
