4.0 out of 5 stars Very cool...but just misses the "ultimate" mark with a few omissions of awesome songs not found on this collection, November 19, 2008

By	Dennis A. Amith (kndy) (California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Celine Dion is a music artist that has had music that has been part of my life. May it be a song that would be a song dedicated at a certain time of my relationship or a friend's relationship to a song that just touched you (or annoyed you).

Celine Dion was like "Boyz II Men" in terms of songs that people listened to if they were in love or just broken up with someone. So, I'm sure there are a large number of people who will definitely have a strong sense of nostalgia when they here a lot of the songs featured on this album.

But when I first hear Celine Dion's voice (this was a time before was singing in English), I was in love with her voice and to see her grow in popularity in the 1990's and have hit after hit, I was definitely proud of her accomplishments.

So, here we are with a new compilation album featuring many of her hit songs throughout the years and for those who have not owned a Celine Dion album, then you can definitely have the majority of her hits through the album "My Love: Essential Collection" which features a total of 17 tracks and for those who do own a lot of her music, they can get the "My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection" which features unreleased songs.

From the classic hits such as "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", "Beauty and the Beast", "If You Ask Me To", "Because You Loved Me", "The Power of My Love", "My Heart Will Go On", "To Love You More" and many other countless hits. But also some surprises such as the live version of "Taking Chances" and "My Love" and many more other songs that were unreleased and not familiar with but I was a bit surprised that there were songs such as "misled" and "Nothing Broken But My Heart" but also my favorite songs "Colour of My Love" and "When I Fall In Love". So, for me... and that is for me, I can't call this an ultimate essential collection but it is a pretty cool compilation album nonetheless.

I will have to say that it's not exactly an "Ultimate Essential Collection" for me because there are two Celine Dion songs that are my favorites not featured on this album and that is "Colour of my Love" and the "Sleepless in Seattle" ballad "When I Fall in Love" featuring Celine and Clive Griffin. Without these two incredible songs included, it's hard to call this compilation an "Ultimate Essential Collection".

But perhaps that is me being a bit picky on the tracklist because there are a lot of awesome tracks on this compilation but missing a few that would be truly an ultimate essential collection of Celine Dion's hits.

But nevertheless, there are many songs that I are simply nostalgic. I'm probably one of the few who was not sicken by the overplaying of the "Titanic" ballad "Where My Heart Goes On".

Also, with a song "To Love You More" which opened me up to the music of Kryzler and Company and had me searching for the Japanese soundtrack of "Koibito yo" for the different versions of this cool song.

And who can not listen to "Because You Loved Me" and not think of that person you broke up with. There are just so many of those nostalgic songs from the past that I'm glad to see included on this compilation.

So, if you have not owned a Celine Dion album but are looking to have one to own, then definitely check out "My Love: Essential Collection" or "My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection".

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!, January 27, 2009

By	KeraDawne "Hollie" - See all my reviews

I have loved Celine's music for years.But my favorites were her love songs.But it's hard to set a mood with your husband if the music switches it up all of the time.So I about did back flips when I saw that she finally came out with a "love songs" CD.Not only is it her best but it has SO MANY of the duets that I treasure and have to keep changing CD's to get to listen to them.Now I have the best of BOTH worlds.
Definitely a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Love Ultimate Collection - Celine Dion, December 28, 2008

By	V. Gilley "va-BBoomer" (Yonkers/Manhattan NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great album, and has combined a number of Ms. Dion's greatest hits. This is a must for her fans, and a good way of hearing her best work as an introduction for new listeners.
