Christmas Caroling is an excellent disc that rounds up 15 highlights from
Ray Conniff's numerous holiday albums. Production styles may have changed over the years, but
Conniff's easy listening style stayed essentially the same through it all, which means that the compilation is fairly cohesive and that it's a terrific choice for background holiday music. Among the highlights are "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Frosty the Snowman," "Joy to the World," "Jingle Bells," "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
