Reception

Sally Browne of the Sunday Mail wrote "With loads more cool Yule songs to unwrap, there's plenty here to make you say 'Christmas rocks!' and not 'Bah humbug!'."[3] The Age's Michael Dwyer gave it 3½ stars saying "RocKwiz presses its real-deal difference with this gritty cull from two past Christmases at the Palais."[4]
