An Irish Christmas
American publication Christian Music Today writes, "What's most striking is how attuned she is to her sound, adhering closely to carols with roots in UK folk like 'Deck the Halls', 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen', and 'What Child Is This', then adapting 'Angels We Have Heard On High', 'In Dulci Jubilo', and 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' as if they came from the same tradition - 'Silent Night' sung in Gaelic is about as soothing as it gets.

"Brennan also taps her heritage with 'In the Bleak Midwinter', the gorgeous 'Wexford Carol', and 'Gabriel's Message' (the Basque carol that Sting made famous on 1990's A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS) . . . . Brennan's peaceful style is most befitting of the Christmas season."

Moya Brennan says about the album, "I've been involved in a number of other people's Christmas projects in recent years, but I wanted to capture a truly Celtic Christmas feeling. It's always important to bring the meaning of Christmas to the fore. It is the essence of what I believe in, and An Irish Christmas offers both celebration and reflection on that familiar theme."
