This second installment of Estefan's Greatest Hits shows her at the peak of her Latin-pop crossover powers, culling all her biggest English-language cuts from 1993 to 2000. The spotlight here is on her later mainstream coups, such as the pumping dance revelry of "Heaven's What I Feel," the 1996 Summer Olympics theme "Reach," and her cover of the Vicki Sue Robinson disco classic "Turn the Beat Around." "Oye" is just the sort of infectious techno salsa that wrote Miami Sound Machine into the annals of pop crossover history. Also included are two previously unreleased tunes, "Out of Nowhere" and the slow and sultry "Can't Walk Away from Love" from the new film Original Sin, starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie.

April 20, 2009: Most of the songs on this CD are okay to good, but the best song is "Turn the Beat Around", and Gloria Estefan has the best version of this great song.

March 09, 2009: I purchased this CD because of one song on it "Everlasting Love"! I'm so glad I added this CD to my collection as I really enjoyed all the songs on it! It's hard to listen to this one and be still!

Gloria Estefan's second volume of Greatest Hits seems more progressive than her first, considering the techno-leaning sounds of her 1990s hits which dominate this set as compared to the more straight-ahead pop from her 1980s hits. This collection assembles nearly all of her Hot 100 hits since her last Greatest Hits album (only "Don't Let This Moment End" is missing). Most of the songs are included in their original album versions, save for a couple which may be of interest to the collector. "If We Were Lovers," one of her loveliest and classiest ballads, was originally on the Mi Tierra album in its Spanish-language form, titled "Con Los Anos Que Me Quedan." The English version of the song had never been available on any of her albums until now. Also making its first appearance on a Gloria Estefan album is her duet with 'N Sync, "Music of My Heart." "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)" and "I'm Not Giving You Up" are featured in remixed forms which had previously only been available as singles. The real treat, however, are the three new songs, which rank among the singer's best, especially "You Can't Walk Away From Love," a dramatic, sweeping, Middle Eastern-tinged ballad. Also included is an updated remix of her first U.S. hit, "Conga." All in all, this is a fine greatest-hits album, almost superior to her first, with classy ballads, great pop songs, and high-energy dance numbers. ~ Jose F. Promis, All Music Guide
