Following the first Celine Dion collection, All the Way: A Decade ofSong, by roughly a decade, My Love: Ultimate Essential Collectiondoubles almost everything about the initial collection: it covers twodecades instead of one, has two discs, not one, and falls just short ofhaving the double the songs. It's almost an overcompensation for howAll the Way concentrated on newer recordings at the expense of hits,but then again Celine has had more hits in the ten years since All theWay, so it makes sense that My Love is a bigger, grander collection.

The problem is, apart from her cover of Roy Orbison's "I Drove AllNight," almost none of her new-millennium hits are as memorable as hersingles from the '90s, so this double CD doesn't offer too much of anenticement for fans to replace 1999's single-disc set. But for thoselisteners who are looking for an overview of Celine Dion's two decadesas an international superstar, My Love fits the bill well as it has allher big adult contemporary hits -- "Where Does My Heart Beat Now,""Beauty and the Beast," "If You Asked Me To," "Because You Loved Me,""It's All Coming Back to Me Now," and "My Heart Will Go On" -- allsequenced chronologically.
