The Brothers Four's Merry Christmas may be a little predictable -- anyone familiar with their work will know that this record will sound exactly like their other albums, only with holiday tunes -- but that it isn't a bad thing. The quartet has an engaging, pleasant sound which is ideal for good background music, and Merry Christmas -- which consists almost entirely of standards and contemporary classics -- would work well at low-key holiday parties or gatherings. It's not a remarkable record, but it's an enjoyable one nonetheless. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
