    It is a testament to just how utterly robust these songs are that the results are, inescapably, joyous. The recordings have been given a bit of digital oomph, with all the sounds polished and honed, and levels kicked up a notch, so the result is dense and shiny, with a relentlessly modern attack.

    It's just enough of an update to feel fresh, yet familiar enough to be nothing but a dose of glitzy, cheerful nostalgia.

    Faithful to a fault, the tracklist sticks safely to ABBA’s most well-known hits, among them “SOS,” “Mamma Mia,” and, of course, the title track. There are scant re-imaginings here, and no obscure disco gems.

    If you've ever wondered what "faithful" renditions of classic ABBA songs sung by Cher sounds like then wonder no more; otherwise avoid.If you've ever wondered what "faithful" renditions of classic ABBA songs sung by Cher sounds like then wonder no more; otherwise avoid.

    Utterly pointless excuse for an album.    … Full Review »

    Dancing Queen is Cher's 'Autumn Years' ABBA karaoke album. There really is no nicer way of putting it. A greedy cash grab. Nothing more.

    Cher's latest album would be more appropriately tilted Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! As others have said, it's just a blatant cash grab. Shamefull!!
