5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible compilation, October 4, 2003

I had worked in the music store before, and Jim Brickman was one of those artists where you wondered about - like "Is he that popular? What's his music like?" So on a whim I bought The Gift" because I have heard that Collin Raye song and thought it was great! So I had a chance to get Valentine compilation, and this "Greatest Hits So Far" type CD compilation from him was absolutely awesome! It has the songs which he is known for (his songs have become a staple for adult-contemporary radio stations) like Valentine, The Gift, Love of My Life, etc. My wife and I enjoyed his music so much we're in the process of picking up his other works just because it's wonderful to listen to, or provide background sound while I work. Just a great, romantic CD...

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful cd - well worth the money, July 31, 2002

I didn't know anything about Jim Brickman when I bought this CD but I think it is great. I bought it because I am looking for a wedding song. If this had been the first CD I bought, it would have saved me a lot of money. Now, if I could just get my fiance to agree to the song(s) I have chosen, everything would be great.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite there, February 22, 2008

This review is from: Valentine (Audio CD)

I was excited to get this CD. I'd listened to The Gift and thought his music was very relaxing. The first sign that this CD wasn't going to be as good as the others was the disclaimer on the back that stated that this "collection" was "specially created by Jim and features all new versions of classics." If I had read this I would have known to stay away.

Messages like this can be translated to mean the following: "This CD has limited new material and it was put together by recyling past-not-quite-hits so that the artist can meet his contract requirement of at least one CD per year."

Perhaps the true, die-hard, Brickman fan would appreciate this half-hearted effort, but b/c the songs weren't very good to begin with, new versions of them don't make them any better. I wouldn't recommend this to a new fan. Start with the Gift and stay away from the "collections."
