His fourth Christmas album, it has seen commercial charting success, and garnered generally positive reviews from music critics. HistoryReleased on October 16, 2012,[1] Joy is Chapman's first release with Reunion Records.[2] It is one of several Christmas albums that Chapman has done over the past few years.[3] The album was produced by Chapman and Brent Milligan.[2] The African Children's Choir performs on several tracks.[5][6] The cover album cover is intended to convey a 1950s styling that characterizes a number of the songs.[6] Music and lyricsSeven of the album's 13 tracks are renderings of traditional Christmas carols such as "Joy to the World" and "We Three Kings"[8] as well as popular modern Christmas songs such as "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"[4] and "Do You Hear What I Hear?". Chapman employs a full range of orchestration and his "trademark acoustic/pop sound" on these songs,[8] and shows his versatility for a variety of musical arrangements on his own original compositions, including a piano ballad, slow jazz tune,[8] and 1950s-style rockabilly.[2] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Christian Music Zine | rev1score = 4.25/5[5] | rev2 = CM Addict | rev2score = {{Rating|4|5}}[6] | rev3 = Cross Rhythms | rev3score = {{Rating|8|10}}[7] | rev4 = Indie Vision Music | rev4score = {{Rating|3|5}}[8] | rev5 = Jesus Freak Hideout | rev5score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[9] | rev6 = The Phantom Tollbooth | rev6score = {{Rating|4|5}}[10] | rev7 = Worship Leader | rev7score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[11] }}Joy received generally positive reviews from music critics.
