Critical reception

Lasse Sørnes from Finnmark Dagblad called the album "Norwegian Christmas at its best". He wrote: "National-treasures Sissel and Odd Nordstoga together on an album is the epitome of a true Norwegian product, and what could be better than the songbirds making a Christmas album together." The song "Upp gledjest alle, gledjest no" was noted as the best song.[4]
