All Music Guide - Heather Phares
Reflecting the warmth and personality Jon Favreau brought to his holiday comedy Elf, the movie's soundtrack features a dozen Christmas and holiday songs picked by Favreau.

A charming soundtrack, Elf also manages to outclass many Christmas albums in terms of holiday cheer.

    WOW - IT'S ABOUT TIME!

    What a wonderful compilation of music. The CD is just as sweet and refreshing as the movie. A great family movie with music to compliment the Christmas season, or ANY season.

    Great movie, great soundtrack

    It was rather refreshing to see a "family" movie without the usual gross out jokes and bathroom humor. I loved the movie and I love this soundtrack. Zooey Deshanel is amazing on the duet with Leon Redbone on the song "Baby it's cold outside", which she also sang in the movie. She is more that talented enough to have an album all to herself.
