The release of Celine Dion's One Heart coincides with the opening night of her exclusive, three-year, 600-show run at Las Vegas's Caesar's Palace. But unlike the show, which features flashy Cirque du Soleil–inspired choreography, the disc is not the aural extravaganza fans have come to expect from the diva behind Titanic-sized ballads like "My Heart Will Go On." Instead of filling One Heart with sentimental swooners that showcase her impeccable powerhouse pipes, as she did with 2002's comeback, A New Day Has Come, Dion opts for an understated, youthful-sounding mix of up- and mid-tempo songs. The disc's surprising tone -- think Shania Twain–styled pop-country and modern rock -- is set by the opening track, a pulsating rendition of Roy Orbison's "I Drove All Night," previously covered by Cyndi Lauper. That's also the cut heard in Dion's inescapable Chrysler television ads, for which the singer earned $10 million. So she's got plenty to sing about: The lighthearted sound continues with über–pop producer Max Martin's predictably delicious "Love Is All We Need," which could easily fit on any Britney Spears album. That song, however, and Martin's equally infectious "Faith," benefit from Dion's beautifully subtle vocal interpretation, reminding us that for all the gloss, she's a talent to be reckoned with. Still, no Celine Dion album would be complete without a few riveting power ballads, and One Heart doesn't disappoint. Never mind that two of the show-stoppers, the string-laden "Sorry for Love" and the Daryl Hall–penned tear-jerker "Have You Ever Been in Love," originally appeared on A New Day Has Come. While her new direction may baffle her adult-contemporary steadies, the house money says that hipper Celine fans -- and those caught up in her typhoon of cross-promotion -- will definitely fall in love with One Heart.

Five years separated Celine Dion's 2002 comeback, A New Day Has Come, and its predecessor, Let's Talk About Love. One year later -- nearly to the day -- Celine Dion released One Heart, touted upon its release as an audio souvenir of her three-year engagement at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, which also began on March 25, 2003. One Heart recalls several of Dion's diva peers, including borrowing Britney Spears mastermind Max Martin for three songs. If Spears' stuttering, stop-start dance-pop seems too young for Dion on "Love Is All We Need," there's the unapologetically Barbra Streisand-esque "Have You Ever Been in Love." If that seems stodgy, aim straight at the mainstream with sunny, catchy title track. Then, there's the tongue-in-cheek, neo-house cover with "I Drove All Night" and "Naked," reminiscent of Jennifer Love Hewitt's "Bare Naked," down to the acoustic guitar arrangements. One Heart favors a smooth Vegas-showstopper gloss to radio-ready sheen, with the title track and "Naked" standing out. Stephen Thomas Erlewine

One Heart is a surprisingly appealing mainstream effort; it's what a neuroses-free Barbra Streisand would sound like if she were midcareer now instead of in 1980. [B] Elisabeth Vincentelli

This is the album that Celine Dion should have offered upon emerging from her extended recording hiatus last year. The relaxed, almost unassuming One Heart offers a well-measured blend of the contemporary pop that will keep Dion commercially relevant and also provides her signature grand balladry. Larry Flick
