It isn’t highbrow or ground-breaking, but it is fun and uplifting. In short, it’s just like Christmas

There’s plenty to raise a smile over these 12 songs, and that’s no doubt exactly what She & Him intended from them

Remember that bit in...'Elf' where Zooey, in the part of the romantic lead, rouses a crowd of New Yorkers into a sing-a-long of "Let It Snow"? This is pretty much a whole album of that

While we can complain all we want about what doesn’t work on A Very She & Him Christmas, there will be a few days a year where we will be very happy to listen to this rather than Mariah Carey

Will no doubt prove a treat for the duo’s fans and those with indie pop-rock inclinations, though this is an album apparently more intent on being cool than honouring tradition

While this album does have imperfections that prevent it from reaching the heights of the duo’s’ previous work, it is still one in which you – and possibly your grandma – can find some Christmas cheer

The blend of simplicity and sophistication is fairly well suited to the material, avoiding cloying sentimentality and religiose bluster

A limp-Bambi of a record, but fortunately there’s some respite in the understated, M. Ward-delivered ‘Christmas Wish’, which might just be enough to stop Saint Nick flinging himself out of his sleigh
