New Musical Express
‘Careful What You Wish For’s quality--along with that of everything else here, not least the closing ‘Silent Night’, featuring a full church choir epically utilised to yank up every hair on the back of the listener’s neck--re-confirms Glasvegas’ position as the most exciting British band right now.

Uncut
Glasvegas still strike the heart-strings, even without noisy guitars. [Jan 2008, p.94]

Q Magazine
It makes for one of the few Christmas albums that stands repeated listening. [Jan 2009, p.116]

This stocking-filler Christmas album, with its punning title and three-hankie melodrama, is an unabashed homage to the erstwhile tycoon of teen.

Drowned In Sound
A Snowflake Fell could have worked as a series of effective B-sides or bonus tracks on the aforementioned album package.
