Rob Allwright, gave a seven and a half review of ten stars by One Man In the Middle states, "Like the previous release this is a four track EP which features the Planetshakers style of worship blended with some Christmas classics and this release also has an original track on it." [10]

Rating the album four stars by New Release Today, Jake Frederick describes, Final Word: "Christmas, Vol. 2 is a great album to help celebrate the season. The fresh take on the classic carols will keep this EP a part of Christmas collections in the years to come." [11]

Joshua Andre, specifying in a four and a half star review for 365 Days of Inspiring Media, replies, Overall an enjoyable EP that continues my reinvigorated interest for Planetshakers a bit more; this track list has certainly taken me by surprise, well musically at least, of what the band is capable of. Even though the album still is more electronic than it needs to be; Planetshakers have nonetheless done Australia proud with their latest Christmas anthems and dance melodies, full of inspiring messages and uplifting lyrics about Jesus!
