Unlike some other MOR pop stars, Barry Manilow never enjoyed the sort of swinging-hipster revival that made him a hot name to drop, ironically or otherwise. Incredibly enough, until the release of Ultimate Manilow in 2002, there was no comprehensive single-disc hits package on the market – a shockingly long wait for one of the most popular hitmakers of the ’70s, hip or not, and clearly the demand was there; Ultimate Manilow entered the charts at number three.

Barry Manilow’s second seasonal collection, following 1990’s Because It’s Christmas, was released on Columbia Records, but that label berth appears to be a one-off for the singer, who followed his long tenure at Arista by signing to the jazz independent Concord for his last album, 2001’s Here at the Mayflower. Maybe Columbia offered a bigger budget, since Manilow is awash in strings on a set of holiday standards. Those strings are arranged festively, and Manilow is in an appropriately festive mood, really throwing himself into the proceedings; it’s his enthusiasm that makes this Christmas album a winner. There are songs actually written as Christmas carols, such as “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” but Manilow also expands the usual repertoire to take in a number of tunes that have become associated with the holiday season over the years, even if they were not intended to be originally, notably Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music and Joni Mitchell’s melancholy “River” from her Blue album, which is certainly set at Christmas time even if it doesn’t share the usual holiday sentiments. Inevitably, Manilow ends with his own new Christmas original, “A Gift of Love,” which is a good song even if it isn’t likely to join the ranks of the perennial copyrights. This is an enjoyable Christmas album in a traditional pop style likely to please both Manilow fans and others.
