Reception
Phoebe Luckhurst of Evening Standard stated, "It's Christmas — the lounge classics version! And Keb’ Mo's blues-infused festive album is as schmaltzy as every holiday record." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote, "The inherent friendliness of Moonlight, Mistletoe and You buoys the first holiday album from veteran blues singer Keb' Mo' through its periodic shifts in tone and style... The entire album is a celebration."Personnel
