We use our computer to play all music, and this CD comes with its own software - so you can't direct your computer to play it through Windows Media Player or any of the common audio players like Winamp. In fact, after about 20 minutes of my computer trying to open the CD, freezing, and having to be re-started I gave up and sent this CD to the car-music box - only to be played on a dedicated CD player. Although I can understand why companies bundle software into their cd's for computer playing, its tremendously inconvenient for the listener who just wants to hear some music. So what did I think of the music? Don't know, I was so irritated I haven't listened to it yet!Free Music Review: Exceptional

This CD was "ok" because christmas albums need a soulful and emotional connection to them. I agree that he does have the type of "cookie cutter" voice--- great for that light jazz-rock type of feel but not for the soulful christmas feel you would get from other artistsI recommend instead--which i havent heard from many people:
The Destiny's Child Christmas Album
and two other notables : One Wish - Whitney Houston and Celine Dion's 1999 Christmas Album
Free Music Review: Better than the first!

As much as others have been lamenting over Harry's second Christmas album, at least there is not a rendition of him singing "O Holy Night". In comparison to the 1st Christmas album, I have enjoyed this album. His bouncy, jazz influenced melodies are great for wrapping presents to. I will suggest that if you want a real uplifting Christmas album, buy The Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas album. That one will get you moving!Free Music Review: over-interpreted

I am a huge HC fan, and it's hard for me to objective, but this album is just not up to his usual standard. While I enjoyed the different take on 'Silver Bells' and the up-beat jazzy spin on 'Frosty' and "Santa Claus is Coming," too many of tracks are waaaaayyyy too far away from the traditional. Some of the interludes contain melodies and instrumentation that just don't fit. Sorry, Harry.
