5.0 out of 5 stars We Do It Together...In Unison, January 27, 2001

This album seems to be very overlooked by many people, even Celine Dion. In my opinion, she couldn't have had a better start in her English-language career.

"If There Was Any Other Way" although not one of her better ones, is quite a good start, and not the kind of song we tend to hear from her. "If Love Is Out of the Question" is quite misheard, but an excellent song and one of my bigger favorites. It even has a slight country feel. "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" is an excellent mainstream ballad and her first top five hit in the states. "The Last to Know" is a very nice, sweet ballad that really shows off her voice and should have been a major hit. "I'm Loving Every Moment With You" is an excellent, drippy, soothing, romantic song that will greatly please listeners and could have been a major hit single.

"Love By Another Name" lacks a real point, yet is the sort of euphoric pop song that can sweep listeners away. It invokes a flighty feeling, especially with the background vocals that sound like they're being sung by extraterrestrails: "It's still the same old love, Love By Another Name". "Unison," though the title song, is one of the least interesting. It has a sound like a dog sweating (when their tongues come out of their mouths). The next song is "I Feel Too Much," a left-field highlight from this album. It is a song like no other Dion has done, and another one that few recognize. This song fuses rock, dance and techno in a way that it makes you want to leap up and dance. Download Napster and download this song as soon as you're done reading this; this is the best song on the album! "If We Could Start Over," which should be called "If We Could Start Over Again," is a wonderful, true-to-life song that is very beautiful. It really provides a showcase for Dion's voice - the beauties of its extreme highs and lows that show her range. The same goes for "Have a Heart," the final song in this great album, and the best one to end it with. Though quite similar to the song that comes right before it, this song is very beautiful and also true-to-life, and it ends in a way to make you yearn to hear more from Dion - which should be the point of a debut album.

Although I was only three when this album was recorded, I can remember some songs from it from the radio. How could I remember them if this album wasn't good?

4.0 out of 5 stars S.D., which mean "superb debut" from the "super diva"...., July 6, 2006

Celine Dion's debut which catapulted her on the way to superstardom is a great debut, featuring her beautiful voice on mostly upbeat romantic songs. Five tracks on this album stand out from the others, especially the catchy title cut, Celine's first big hit "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", two Paul Bliss (of Moody Blues fame these days) songs in "(If There Was) Any Other Way" and "If Love Is Out of Question", and the sultry "The Last To Know". The rest of tracks are so-so, and I often skipped over these on my CD player. This album isn't for everyone, but Celine's most devoted fans can't help but go ga-ga over this stunning debut album.

Exceptional CD altogether. The songs are reiminescent of her earlier style that just stays with you. These songs touch your heart and can bring back wonderful memories.
