"The second full-length album by the Lovemongers is an incredible collection of traditional and new Christmas favorites. "How Beautiful" is by far one of the most stunning songs ever written for the holidays or anytime of year... Then Ann Wilson's megawatt-voice-extraordinaire gets submerged in the divinely soulful harmonies of the other Mongers, and they transform "Oh Holy Night" into a richly textured, neo-vintage a cappella. Brazenly Romantic are the very words used to describe this instant Christmas classic. Treat yourself ! *****"
Awesome!!!!

"I have been a heart fan since as far back as I can remember. This album is a richly textured, melodic treat. If you liked the albums "Little Queen" or BeBe Le Strange" you will enjoy this delicate, pure, and moving xmas album. If I had to choose one Xmas album to listen to..this would be it. The songs are well choosen, well performed and touch the soul."
Spine-tingling

"The whole CD is good but the rendition of "Oh Holy Night" is incredible. Anne and Nancy at their harmonious best."

"Lush, rich, harmonious and truly stunning, this amazing selection of new gems and Christmas standards, from the sisters who brought you BARRACUDA, DOG & BUTTERFLY, LOVE ALIVE, MISTRAL WIND and SAND, will quickly become the top pick in your Christmas collection. If you are a fan of Heart and the Lovemongers, this is a must have. If you've never heard them before, now is the time to try them out. Ann Wilson's powerhouse vocals, always brilliant, shine at their best. Nancy Wilson's harmonies and muscianship are masterful, and she contributes some dazzling lead vocals of her own. Kudos also to a brave new band with a brave new sound. Among my favorites are CHRISTMAS WAITS, a simply beautiful original with a lush Burt Bacharach-ian mood. Another gem is HOW BEAUTIFUL. How beautiful indeed! And brava to stunning renditions of AVE MARIA and OH HOLY NIGHT! This CD proves what many of us have known all along ... the Wilson sisters are so much more than a couple of pretty faces."
Heart classic
