4.0 out of 5 stars Decent collection, October 21, 2004

By	Tom (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

I guess I am one of the rare few who likes budget compilations. Both the 20th Century Millennium and Platinum and Gold Collections are enjoyable because they are concise and feature excellent remastering.

This 12 track collection features some of Toni Braxton's biggest hits ("Breathe Again", "Unbreak My Heart") and misses ("Hit the Freeway", "Spanish Guitar"). Overall the selection is solid, although the addition of "You're Making Me High" would have made this a perfect collection, but Braxton is one of R&B's finest singers and this collection is further proof that her voice is missed on radio.

It's worth mentioning that "How Could An Angel Break My Heart", "Maybe" and "Spanish Guitar" are featured here in remix format, making this a good listen for both Braxton diehard and casual fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value purchase for Toni's music, June 30, 2006

By	PLM - See all my reviews

This is a good value purchase of Toni Braxton's songs. This is for anyone who might not get through 75 minutes of Ultimate Toni Braxton from 2003, but might go through 45-50 minutes of this one. This album is different for that includes a few remixes, sometimes dance-related, of the hits, instead of the same 12 sad love song ballads that she's well known for. Instead, the handlers make it more fun and upbeat in most cases instead of downbeat and sad. But familiar hits like Another Sad Love Song, He Wasn't Man Enough, Breathe Again, Unbreak My Heart and others are found here. Braxton still is out there with her latest effort Libra, but this collection recalls what made her a star in the first place.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great collection, June 22, 2005

By	M Felix (A Southern Californian Forced into Washinton state) - See all my reviews

This Platinum And Gold Collection is a must own for Toni Braxton fans. She is one of my favorite female musicians. Although, I think "Ultimate Toni Braxton" is more complete
1. Another sad love song 10/10 A great song
2. Breathe Again - 10/10 classic song about suicide
3. How could an angel break my heart 10/10
4. I belong to you 10/10
5. You mean the world to me 10/10
6. Un-Break my heart 10/10 Probably her biggest hit to date
7. How many ways 7/10
8. he wasn't man enough 5/10 I love the lyrics but she Sounds really MANNISH in this song
9. Maybe 5/10
10. A better man 7/10
11. Hit the freeway 7/10
12. Spanish Guitar 8/10
I can't wait for her sister Towanda (From the reality show "Starting over") to release an album and for TB's next release
