Jaleesa M. Jones in
USA Today called it "a festive ode to winter romance." Emma Garland from
Noisey said the album "basically sounds like a
Cassie album ... but with sleigh bells and lyrics like 'tis the season for some love giving!' It's basically the perfect festive romp." Two years after its release,
MTV's Sydney Gore and Brian Anthony Hernandez revisited the EP, calling it "a new holiday classic" and "a catalyst of original Christmas carols for the so-called doomed millennial generation. [...] [T]his EP has the power to melt any trace of snow that's piling up on your front porch. ... There's a playful, eflish energy about ["True Love"] that makes you want to hang mistletoe everywhere to secure a smooch with that special someone."
Billboard ranked the EP as one of the Best Christmas Albums of the 21st Century, stating: "Grande's second holiday EP eschews traditional sounds of the season, opting instead for
contemporary R&B grooves,
trap synths and punny
innuendo [...] Despite some sleigh bells and a few tossed-off references to the North Pole, this isn'f your parents' holiday fare." ==Track listing==
