Johnny Loftus of AllMusic said " Natalie Grant follows her Dove Award-nominated work on '' Awaken '' with a Christmas album called '' Believe '' . Her opening rendition of ' O Come , All Ye Faithful ' harks back to Grant 's days a gospel singer , while ' Let It Snow ! Let It Snow ! Let It Snow ' is lighter and happier ( as would be appropriate for such a joyously repetitive song title ) , Grant 's vocal dancing across a jazzy arrangement fluffed up with brass . Her take on ' Santa Claus Is Coming to Town ' is similarly bold . But besides these pleasant reads of the season 's standards , Grant and producer Bernie Herms also explore some original material and expansive arrangements . A breathy ' Silver Bells ' medleys into an epic ' O Holy Night ' , while the collection 's title track is a Grant original that uses the story of the birth of Jesus as a basis for her faith and inspiration . " '' Cross Rhythms '' s Nigel Harris stated " Christmas albums can too easily slide into slushy sentimentality or banal , unimaginative rehashing of secular Christmas favorites . Natalie Grant dips more than a toe into both in this reissue of her 2005 Christmas release , which when originally released charted at number 13 on Billboard Top Heatseekers chart . ' O Come All Ye Faithful ' and ' O Little Town of Bethlehem ' showcase Natalie 's voice without breaking much new ground . Sadly , ' Let It Snow ' and ' Santa Claus Is Coming To Town ' sound like the sort of music you hear in supermarkets in December . However the title track lifts the whole album and earns it a good three squares more than most of the rest of the album deserves . With vocals reminiscent of Celine Dion at times Natalie soars and swoops though one of the best new Christmas songs I have heard in years . ' What Christmas Means To Me ' is an over-the-top Motown pastiche , but the final tracks , especially the medley ' Silver Bells/Savior Came For Me/O Holy Night ' again lift the standard . If you 're looking for something new next Christmas , do n't dismiss this album for its weaker tracks ; the stronger ones more than compensate .
