Yuletide Fair received the following review in The Washington Post (Dec 8, 1995):
"An engaging collection that includes lively readings of the pan-cultural "Worldwide Yuletide" and a slow, moody "Greensleeves", sterling recitations by tenor Josué Bustos (notably on "Gesu Bambino"), a warm telling of the "Silent Night" saga by guitarist/narrator John Lyon and several partnerships with the 100-voice Mormon Choir of Washington."
