A Classic Christmas (Toby Keith album)

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic writes "a holiday album of this size may seem like overkill, but this isn't one sprawling, unedited session: it's two distinct albums, the first containing secular seasonal standards, the second religious-themed carols." and finishes the review with "and both are solid holiday albums."

Andrew W. Griffin of reddirtreport.com writes in his review, "All in all, A Toby Keith Classic Christmas is the sort of holiday album all Oklahomans should add to their collection."{{cite web |url=https://www.reddirtreport.com/general/review-toby-keith-classic-christmas |title=REVIEW: 'A Toby Keith Classic Christmas' |last=Griffin |first=Andrew W. |date=December 7, 2007 |website=reddirtreport.com |publisher=Red Dirt Report |access-date=November 5, 2019 }}

CMT reviewed the album and said, "Singing yuletide favorites in front of an intimate Nashville audience, superstar Toby Keith delivers a scaled down performance reminiscent of a family gathering with a visit from special guest, Jewel."{{cite web |url=http://www.cmtpress.com/press-release/its-beginning-to-look-a-lot-like-christmas-for-toby-keith/ |title=IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS FOR TOBY KEITH |date=October 17, 2007 |website=cmtpress.com |publisher=CMT Press |access-date=November 5, 2019 }}

CBS News briefly touched on the album and mentioned "On The Early Show Friday, Keith agreed with the assessment of co-anchor Hannah Storm that the new CD is very traditional."{{cite web |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toby-keith-busy-busy-and-christmasy/ |title=Toby Keith: Busy, Busy – And Christmasy |date=December 7, 2007 |website=cmtpress.com |publisher=CMT Press |access-date=November 5, 2019 }}
