Classic Rock MagazineDec 21, 2018Characteristically dramatic readings of festive favourites. [Dec 2018, p.89]

Dec 21, 2018He overdramatizes familiar carols as if every thought and emotion were occurring to him in real time instead of being read from a songbook. But a little of this goes a long way, and by the time he’s joined by Judy Collins for “White Christmas” or Iggy Pop for “Silent Night,” you will probably have long since lost interest in knocking around the eternal “kidding, or earnest?” questions. As an album, Shatner Claus makes a great single.
