  1. 8.0 |   NME

    So despite the risk they took by recording the album in a ‘Chinese Democracy’-mocking 12 days, the only turkey they’ll be offering up this Christmas will be the kind you serve with sprouts.

  2. 8.0 |   The Independent

    Silent Night morphs from Allan's cracked Glaswegian burr into the standard version, an effect as heartwarming as the conclusion to It's a Wonderful Life.

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Glasvegas’ Christmas mini-album chimes halfway between the festive season’s familial warmth and the snow-biting bleakness of a Glasgow winter.

    A Snowflake Fell... might make you want to hang yourself with the tinsel, but what a way to go.

    No trickery, no pretension – a real Christmas album that echoes its icy surroundings perfectly.

  7. 7.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    It's scary to imagine what this band is capable of giving us through 2009.

  8. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    This EP is a perfect accompaniment to the band's album proper and will provide ample new material to play when the band tour in 2009. They have something special, Glasvegas, but I'll be damned if I can work out exactly what it is.

  9. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Glasvegas come bearing choirs, bells, a blunt-to-a-fault song about homelessness and a solemn Silent Night, all wreathed in snowstorms of reverb.
