Ramsey Lewis Trio var omåttligt populär i Chicago från slutet av 1950-talet och framåt. I mitten av 60-talet fick trion en brottarhit nationellt med "The 'In' Crowd", men dessförinnan hade man, som brukligt var, spelat in denna julskiva.

"This is a pleasing, if rather brief (29 minutes) Christmas jazz album that was originally quite popular...the set features the Ramsey Lewis Trio (consisting of the leader/pianist, bassist Eldee Young and drummer Red Holt) on ten Christmas songs, five of which add a string section arranged by Riley Hampton. The renditions of such tunes as "Winter Wonderland," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "Sleigh Ride" and Lewis' "Christmas Blues" are fun and melodic, if not all that unique."
