Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that the album "builds upon the retro charms of A Very Kacey Christmas, replicating its affectionately tongue-in-cheek blend of old-fashioned show biz corn and seasonal warmth". "Glittery" was praised as a highlight, with Ellen Johnson of Paste calling it "a new romantic holiday staple à la Ella Fitzgerald’s recording of "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm," or a much less problematic version of "Baby It's Cold Outside."[3]
