I have been a long time fan of Enrique Iglesias. Ever since 2001 when Escape came out I knew I would be a huge fan. I just got such a great high listening to that music. Naturally I went out and bought his previous english album, and all the ones after that.

I Was excited when I heard news of a Greatest Hits Album. Having heard all his Studio albums in full I can say i'm also a bit dissapointed, since there were so many hidden gems that didn't even become singles,songs like "Roamer", "Love 4 Fun", "If The World Crashes Down", "Sad Eyes", "Your My #1" or "Ring My Bells" (Don't Worry. I'm not crazy, Enrique's Hardcore fans will know what i'm talking about).

But as for the casual fan This compilation is all you'll ever need, since it has all the singles on it from Enrique's MTV hey day (Escape Era) and then some....They're all here from the signature hits "Hero", "Bailamos", "Be With You", "Escape", "Do You Know"...to the other hit singles "Love To See You Cry", "Rhythm Divine", "Addicted" ect.

The reason I feel this could have been better is if "Ring My Bells" had been on this collection (IT'S THE SONG FROM THE TRUE STAR COMMERCIAL, SO CHECK IT OUT IF YOU CAN), but then again it wasn't a single, so Why would it be on this album? This collection appears to be just for the casual listeners, as they might not own any of his Studio Albums. As I said if you're a casual listener of Enrique, this is the only CD You need to own, still it would have been nice if Interscope had put some more hits on here. There's room for more, since this CD is pretty short for a Greatest Hits clocking in at only 66 Minutes, but still it's a decent summary of Enrique's hits from the last Decade, and anyone more than a casual listener will probably own his albums anway, and might just buy this for the 2 New tracks. The new single "Away" is great, and "Takin' Back my Love" with Ciara is catchy, once you give it a listen or two.

Fans of this album would also do well to pick up "95/08" (his Spanish Language Greatest Hits Album) if you're just getting into Enrique, This is the Album to Start off with.

Overall this album captures his first 2 albums "Enrique" and "Escape"

at their best, preferabbly the singles, however "7" and "Insomniac" leave something to be desired. If youre a casual fan it won't matter much though. All the singles are here. Buy it for the songs from his first 2 albums, and the new tracks.

Peace . Out.

This is a terrific collection that spans the first decade of Enrique Iglesias' recording career to the mainstream masses, although his career started more than 10 years ago before that, when he first started recording in Spanish.

This greatest hits set contains all his big hits in English, and literally offers something for everybody---his moving ballads, some dance tunes and a few duets, my favorite being the Diane Warren-penned, 2000 release, "Could I Have This Kiss Forever", with Whitney Houston. This collection is proof of how varied an artist Enrique Iglesias has always been in terms of his music.

Mr. Iglesias has stood the test of time, since he first burst onto the mainstream music scene over 10 years ago, during the Latin-explosion of the late 1990's. Unlike his latin-counterparts who were also breaking into mainstream recording at the same time (Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez), Enrique seems to be the only one out of the original "Latin 4" who has had continued success in the Pop and Adult Contemporary music genres.

This collection should indulge, entertain and satisfy any music lover, young and old.

Of special note: Amazon also offers the 2-Disc Import Set of this same collection, the difference being that the Import version contains a bonus DVD, featuring Enrique's Greatest Video Hits as well. Enjoy!!

First I must say that I am a huge Enrique Fan!! IF you love Enrique and all his hits then you will love this CD!!! I love all these songs on this cd!!! I especially love that Enrique added his new song "AWAY" to his greatest hits!! I love the song "AWAy" because the song is sad, anyone who has had a man or woman break up with you listen to this song and you will understand the song "AWAY". The play list includes : Bailamos, AWAy, Hero, Be with you, Taking back my love(featuring Ciara), Rhythm Divine, Do you know?, Tired of being sorry, Escape, Could I have this Kiss forever(featuring Whitney Houston), Not in Love( featuring Kelis), Don't Turn off the Lights, LOve to see you cry, Maybe, Addicted, Somebody's me, Can you hear me.

One more thing : Go out and by this CD!! YOu will love it!!

I pruchased this CD for one song "HERO". I love this song. When I started to listen to the whole thing I realized just how great it is. If you like to dance, yes even by yourself, this is a must for your collection!

Enrique Iglesias, Is by far my Favorite Male Performer I was so excited to hear of a greatest hits package.

The music as always from Enrique is the Best, But being that I am a creative person I have to say you can tell the record company through the package together very quickly. The pictures of Enrique Are very good but, the CD itself is plain White no artistry at all and the booklet, dull no lyrics.

I already know the lyrics but to have them included would of been nice , and the chart positions would have been nice to see. this booklet is very thin with just pics and a tracklist, very boring. and the cover could have been better as well.

With Enriques awsome talent he deserves better than a quick thrown together CD.

SO OVERALL: MUSIC ***** 5 STARS

ARTWORK: ** 2 STARS

Awesome, if you like Enrique and you don't have this cd or these songs already, BUY IT! It is very handy to have one cd with all my favorites when I am driving.

Enrique is the best latin male artist ever. He has a sexy voice and sings from the heart! He puts his heart and soul into his songs. If your a fan, then you already have most of the songs that's on this album, but there is a few extras on it. "Away" is very heart felt sad song. Love the tone of the song. "Takin Back My Love" is a great pop song, with a good beat. It's a song that's about breaking up, but has you feeling sexy for some odd reason. This album has some of the best of Enrique's songs. Like "Addicted", "Somebody's Me", "Escape" "Bailamos" and the muched loved "Hero". It's a really good combination of his best, so buy it and enjoy!

Love Enriques music, and this CD is the one I just can't listen to enough. I have everyone of his CD's and this is by far the best.

I am a big fan of Enrique Iglesias, I loved this CD. I fully recommend it to anyone who likes his music.

Fantastic CD showcasing Enrique's seductive voice. The musical arrangements and harmonies add to the enjoyment of listening to this CD.
