Luis Miguel's strong, often serious voice isn't the first you'd think of to breathe life into a succession of giddy Christmas carols and holiday favorites. But the singer positively soars on Navidades, a slick collection of American classics translated into Spanish. He kicks things off with an inspired, big-band take on "Santa Claus Llego a la Ciudad" ("Santa Claus is Comin' to Town"), and the lush arrangement is indicative of the disc's classy, classic tone. Miguel emotes beautifully during "Te Deseo Muy Felices Fiestas" ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas") and "Blanca Navidad" ("White Christmas"). He offers inspired takes on the sentimental "Mi Humilde Oracion" (David Foster's modern holiday gem "My Grown-Up Christmas List") and Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" (an odd, if fitting, inclusion). The best, however, is a brassy, gospel-infused reworking of "Silent Night," complete with rousing chorus and blaring horns. It's a stirring, soulful disc closer, and the perfect bow on a glossy, glowing Christmas collection. --Joey Guerra

Pese a las críticas de que Luis Miguel lleva tres discos al hilo grabando canciones pasadas (pues sus grandes éxitos podrían considerarse así), este es un disco original en más de un sentido. En primer lugar, la mayoría de las canciones son traducciones o adaptaciones de canciones en inglés, que hasta ahora habían permanecido inéditas en nuestro idioma. En segundo lugar, que un artista latino grabe un disco de navidad, y con ello se posicione entre amantes del género, es también un punto a su favor. Pero lo que de verdad marca algo especial en la carrera de Luis Miguel, es la incursión del artista en un género musical que ha hecho grandes a los más grandes. Me refiero al swing, al big band con el que hermosamente se acompaña en este disco. De verdad, los arreglos son insuperables, y la calidad interpretativa de Luis Miguel se acrecenta con acompañamiento tan fino, tan elegante.
El verdadero giro de Luis Miguel con este disco, no es haber producido por primera vez un album de temporada. El verdadero cambio, al menos para mí, un seguidor fiel de su carrera, es que después de haberlo oído cantar con big band, dificilmente nos volverá a gustar escucharlo en el pop. Y es que Luis Miguel ha madurado y su público, que ya no es el de las nuevas generaciones (aunque también lo escuchan y gustan, clro está), sino el de todos nosotros que hemos crecido con él y que también nos hemos refinado en gustos, también lo hemos hecho.
Sí, con este disco Luis Miguel está apostando alto, está apostando a establecesrse como el crooner de nuestro país y quizás de todo un idioma, de todo un continente, y quizás, de algo más.

I'm not a big fan of Luis Miguel since he has been recording the same music for the past decade. Old Boleros are nice but he needed to do something different. Here it is, a Christmas Album that sounds great and shows us that Luis Miguel is still one of the greatest latin artists. I definitely recommend this album and I'm sure that it will turn into a Holiday Classic.

A great holiday album and done in the impeccable style of Luis MIguel and a bonus treat that it has a big band feel to it. Excellent! What else can you ask for more. A Spanish Christmas album has been long in the waiting and it is presented with all the trimmings. Luis MIguel fans rejoice! Love this CD and a perfect accompaniment to the holiday season. Enjoy!
