    What's surprising about the best cuts from the 15-track set is how much heat the Police frontman and his varied collaborators create.

    It's more accessible than that lute album, but -barring the sole Sting composition, the lovely "The Hounds Of Winter" - it will baffle all but the hardiest Police fan. [Jan 2010, p. 126]

    It's a holiday album for people who have never wanted to hear a holiday album, let alone own one.
