[[Bosley Crowther]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' was not impressed: "...the use of VistaVision, which is another process of projecting on a wide, flat screen, has made it possible to endow ''White Christmas'' with a fine pictorial quality. The colors on the big screen are rich and luminous, the images are clear and sharp, and rapid movements are got without blurring—or very little—such as sometimes is seen on other large screens. Director Michael Curtiz has made his picture look good. It is too bad that it doesn't hit the eardrums and the funnybone with equal force."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Crowther |first1=Bosley |title=The Screen in Review |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1954/10/15/archives/the-screen-in-review-white-christmas-bows-at-the-music-hall.html |date=October 15, 1954 |access-date=January 26, 2016 |work=The New York Times}}</ref> Kate Cameron of the ''[[New York Daily News]]'' gave the film four stars, writing that "given an Irving Berlin score, a sentimental and amusing book by Melvin Frank and the two Normans, Krasna and Panama, a cast headed by Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen, not to mention Dean Jagger, Mary Wickes and dancer John BraseiaBrascia in the supporting roles, and a production all wrapped up in Technicolor, "White Christmas" adds up to first class entertainment. There is a lot of talent animating this VistaVision production and the principals work hard to catch the interest of the audience and hold it throughout. Bing and Danny are well teamed and, with Rosemary Clooney's considerable help, sing the tuneful Berlin numbers with verve. Vera Ellen dances delightfully with Kaye and BraseiaBrascia."<ref>{{cite news
