Review

Merry Christmas from Motown includes tracks by the Temptations, Diana Ross & the Supremes, the Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles and Stevie Wonder. While the main focus is on traditional material like "Ave Maria," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Silent Night," the Motown-originated material ("Christmas Everyday" and "Give Love on Christmas Day") holds up well. This is perfect background music for any Xmas get together. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
