I love McKnight from "One Last Cry" on, but I confess I wasn't that enthused about his first Christmas CD. "I'll be Home for Christmas" is great and some of his best work so far.

"Christmas You and Me" is a duet with Vince Gill. Their voices blend together in an amazing duet. Very impressive.

"Who would have Thought" is a very soft tribute to falling in love on Christmas Day. You might be able to play this one and get someone to fall in love all over again.

He also does a lot of what we'd expect. "Angels, we have heard on High" is exceptional. So's his "Silver Bells." Overall, this is a very listenable, soulful Christmas CD.

I've been a Brian McKnight fan since I was a teenager, and I would have to say that this is his best holiday album yet! My favorite song on the album is Angels We Have Heard on High: with Josh Groban. It seems like everytime he goes into the studio he goes in as himself, and he always leaves his fans wondering, "What Next!"

Although I love Brian McKnight's voice, I was less than impressed with his first Christmas CD, so I hesitated to purchase his newest release. I shouldn't have waited -- it is everything I hoped it would be -- a winner from beginning to end. Backed by his solid band, the CD is consistent in quality and his voice has never sounded better. His duet with Josh Groban simply soars with both voices magically intertwining in a simply beautiful merger. You've got to have substantial chops to keep up with Groban, and McKnight does. His duet with Vince Gill is another highlight of the CD along with his collaboration with Take 6. There isn't a clunker in the bunch -- this is a CD that I will play again and again.

This cd will definately be in my cd player after Thanksgiving dinner. Brian McKnight did an excellent job on this CD, making some holiday classics, i.e. The Christmas Song, Silver Bells, into a modern day sound. It is a holiday treat and I recommend it for any Soulful Christmas fan. Get Babyface's Christmas album as well.

This CD is wonderful, just as his others. You will not be disappointed, not only will you enjoy the voice of Brian McKnight, but his two sons also. I highly recommend this CD.

What more can be said? Brian could sing the ABC's and it would sound great. I am sure the ladies, single or married, will be under the mistletoe this Christmas with Brian in the background.

Awesome Christmas CD, I often go through playing the same Christmas CD from past performers but this one is a definite added collection. It is way better than his Bethlehem CD.

B. Mcknight does it again with his 2nd Christmas release highlighted with some Christmas classics and some smooth Holiday groove's for Lover's...Starting with the Marvin Gaye-esque Christmas Song and the smooth balad duet Chistmas, Love, & You with Vince Gill, this holiday offering gives you all you want and expect from a Brian Mcknight album...also, don't sleep on the Boyz II Men remake "Who Woulda Thought"...Instant classic.

This is one the best christmas iv heard from 2008. Id rush out & buy this cd you,ll be glad you did.

Some of the albums is a bit generic, but there are gems--particularly his Marvin Gaye-esque "The Christmas Song", singing with his sons, and a special visit by Take 6.
