"All of a sudden, I continue to hear new bands on almost a weekly basis that make me say “I can’t believe these guys are from Fayetteville,†and Christmas Fuller Project is one of those bands."
-- Fayetteville Flyer
"It is nice to see such ambition from a young band and on the whole it mostly pays off... they combine delicious melodies with sweeping guitar lines and occasionally hushed vocals."
-- Oceans Never Listen
"You’re not going to be disappointed by this album. I’m not going to inflate this album so much as to tell you it’s one of the all-time greats, but it’s certainly good. You probably won’t find it on any year-end lists of any major music reviewer, but that’s in-part because they’ve never heard it."
-- The Ghost of Me
"Christmas Fuller Project knows it's showing its musical influences where everyone can clearly see them, but a band with this much pop craftsmanship to start out with should round into its own in no time."
-- Minutia Music
"Christmas Fuller Project has not only produced two awesome CDs, but they also have amazing stage presence. I saw them play three times this summer... I can actually say that they put on some of the most enjoyable shows ever... it's relaxing, mellow, and entertaining."
-- The Bulldog Herald
