The Grammy-nominated, twenty-something, pop-classical phenomenon's fourth studio album is an expertly accomplished entry to the holiday marketplace. Noel tackles the familiar sounds of holiday music with a charmingly eclectic array of guest vocalists and a wide range of material. The songs range from the sacred to the secular, while Groban--buoyed in spots by none other than the London Symphony Orchestra--soars in his duets with Brian McKnight, Faith Hill, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. There's even a song with a gospel choir directed by Kirk Franklin. Produced yet again by crossover maestro David Foster, the arrangements never overwhelm the songs. Groban's smooth and supple vocals can be hard to categorize--seeing how his range is somewhere in-between a high baritone and a low tenor--but he always finds and emphasizes the emotional core of these songs. And whether they have origins in pop or classical music seems not to matter. The addition of messages from troops stationed in Iraq on top of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is undeniably heart-wrenching, while the album's highlight is its most spare song, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," which finds Groban alone at his piano, sounding very much like some kind of angel. --Mike McGonigal

 These are for die-hard fans only. Too dramatic but jacl real substance. October 12, 2008

I have Josh Groban first 2 CDs and I like them a lot. My anticipation ia a bit high when I saw "Noel" released by him. This turns ou to be a complete disappointment to me. I don't like any of the arrangements and his singing doesn't show any distinct from these traditional carols sung by other singers. I tossed it to my sister and she didn't paticular thrilled as before she listen to it.
I recommend you try Micael Buble or Amy Grant's Christmas Christmas song because they carry a lot of emotions and make one's heart warm!
This is the CD Josh tried to make it dramatic but it fell short.

I have enough Christmas CDs to put on my iPod to listen to during the holidays. When I heard that Josh Groban was releasing a Christmas CD, I had to pre-order it. Along with Michael W. Smith's three Christmas CDs and the soundtracks to Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Polar Express, Josh Groban's Noel is one that I always look forward to listening to every year. I'm sorry to say that I prefer Josh Groban over Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby any day.

This album has it all. The voice, the music, and the choices will blow you away. I'm a collector of Christmas Music and have hundreds of CDs of this genre; this is right 'up there'.
