Unlike most single-artist remix albums, J to tha L-O! actually has a purpose beyond raking in cash from fans. The best of these cuts brings much-needed weight to the often-weak writing, vocals, and production that mar Jennifer Lopez's two previous multiplatinum albums. The prize, of course, is her duet with Ja Rule on "I'm Real," but the other highlights (a Rodney Jerkins reworking of his own "If You Had My Love," P. Diddy's "Feelin' So Good") follow along similar hip-hop/R&B lines. Her stabs at street cred aren't always as successful; the 12-letter curse she employs on the Sack International Remix of "Play" is a good deal less than convincing. Generic house rhythms don't do anything for "Let's Get Loud" and "Walking on Sunshine." Finally, the new, tacked-on ballad "Alive," cowritten by the superstar, begins like "I Honestly Love You" but quickly proves itself a new "Greatest Love of All," filled with blind self-love. It's hard to tell if there's even anyone else in the room, or if she's just singing to a mirror. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars upbeat & fun, March 12, 2002

By	"lm_doll" - See all my reviews

I really enjoyed the remixed versions of Jennifer's past singles. So, I decided to buy this CD and I was very pleased. J to tha L-O is awesome. Revamped versions of "love don't cost a thing" "ain't it funny" and "I'm real" are great. It gives the CD a hip-hop/R&B feel. Actually almost all of the tracks have the hip-hop treatment.

"I'm gonna be alright" and "feelin' so good" are also infused with hip-hop beats. To me, these remix versions sound better than the originals. Besides the hip-hip/R&B stuff, J to tha L-O's got some great dance numbers. I really liked the disco/dance/latin feel of the "walking on sunshine" remix. "Let's get loud" on the other hand could've been better.

The best remix on this CD has got to be the hex hector remix of "waiting for tonight." The pulsating sonic sound is awesome. It's still one of my faves. As a whole, this CD is very upbeat, fun, and great to play anytime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great combination, May 2, 2002

By	gyrfalcon987 (Oberlin, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This cd combines Jennifer's two previous albums into a must have album. All the best songs of both On The Six and J. Lo are on the album. They are remixed into better songs. This album also includes Ain't It FUnny and I'm Real!!!

Love Don't Cost A Thing (RJ Schoolyard Mix feat. Fat Joe)-This is not one of the better remixes. Besides adding some rapping from Fat Joe and a little beat it is like the original version-7/10

Ain't it Funny (Murder remix feat. Ja Rule)-If you haven't heard this song have you ever listened to the radio? This #1 smash always makes me wanna sing a long when I hear it. This is also the remix of the remmix which features Cadillac Tah-10/10

I'm Gonna Be Alright(Track Masters Remix)-This is a fair song on her J. Lo album but with the remix it makes it much more danceable and pleasant to listen to-8/10

I'm Real (Murder Remix feat Ja Rule)-Another one of my favorites. Sounds similair to Ain't It Funny but better in my opinion-10/10

Walking On Sunshine(Metro Remix)-This remix has nothing special except an addition of bets to the background-8/10

If You Had My Love (Dark Child Master Mix)-As always the Dark Child remix is very good. Although no one additional sings in it but it is a whole lot better than the original song-10/10

Feeling So Good (Bad Boy Remix feat P. Diddy and G. Dep-The original version of Feelin So Good wasn't that good but adding P. Diddy and G. Dep and some extra beats etc. makes this a lot better-9/10

Lets Get Loud (Pablo Flores Remix)-This is a fun song. The remix sounds different but is good-8/10

Play (Sack International Remix)-Play is one of my fav songs but the remix is nothing special-8/10

Waiting For Tonight (Hex's Momentous Radio Mix)-This is another one of my fav remixs.It sounds cool in this version-10/10

Alive-The only non-remix song on the album. It is off the soundtrack of her movie Enough. I actually enjoyed this slow song-9/10

Instead of purchasing her other albums I would suggest this remix album because it offers an excellent combination of the two! I also like the album art it is all scenes from her music videos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get This Remix CD, March 3, 2002

By	xxxDarkChildxxx (USA ^_^) - See all my reviews

I'm not a big fan of remixes cd. My friend bought Limp Bizkit's remix cd, and it was horrible. I gave Jennifer Lopez's a try when I was watching a MTV show and heard a clip of "Feelin' So Good" remix. So, I downloaded the whole album. It's a great remix album to tell you the truth. I bought the album the next day. The album cover is the best album cover I have ever see in my life. It's got pictures from all of her videos. The album opens with "Love Don't Cost A Thing (RJ Schoolyard Mix feat. Fat Joe)"..great remix. My fave remix off the album is If You Had My Love (Dark Child Master Mix) & Ain't It Funny (Murder Remix feat. Ja Rule & Caddillac Tah). I totally think you should get it.

1. Love Don't Cost A Thing (RJ Schoolyard Mix feat. Fat Joe): 9/10
2. Ain't It Funny (Murder Remix feat. Ja Rule & Caddillac Tah): 10/10
3. I'm Gonna Be Alright (Track Masters Remix feat. 50 Cent): 10/10
4. I'm Real (Murder Remix feat. Ja Rule): 9/10
5. Walking On Sunshine (Metro Remix): 8/10
6. If You Had My Love (Dark Child Master Mix): 10/10
7. Feelin' So Good (Bad Boy Remix feat. P. Diddy & G. Dep): 9/10
8. Let's Get Loud (Pablo Flores Remix): 10/10
9. Play (Sack International Remix): 7/10
10. Waiting For Tonight (Hex's Momentous Radio Mix): 8/10
11. Alive: 7/10
