Dec 15, 2016Sincere romanticism is balanced with a knowing sense of humor.

Dec 15, 2016Happily, the good outweighs the bad by quite a margin on Christmas Party.

Dec 15, 2016Like many a Christmas collection, the record becomes less elegant on sillier tunes like "Must Be Santa" (derived from a German drinking song) and a strangely plaintive version of the Chipmunks' "Christmas Don't Be Late." These diversions are limited, though, and, remarkably, don't include a rather beautiful rendition of "Mele Kalikimaka." Taken together, Christmas Party is a charmer.

Dec 15, 2016Those already enamored of the duo’s well-defined aesthetic will find much to like, while those firmly anti-anything Zooey Deschanel will remain vehemently as such. The choice, one of literally thousands, is wholly yours.

Dec 21, 2016A decent collection which explores different aspects of the duo’s chosen musical territory.
