BradP.Nov 17, 2007Whatever chances Celine took on this album, they don't compare to the risk I took in listening.

IgorL.Dec 13, 2007I really don't get Celine Dion. in "taking chances" she doesn't create nothing and manages to deliver only one good single.

NickU.Dec 9, 2007Maybe if celine took some chances, she'd produce a decent record. not to mention: scariest. cover art. ever.

VincentP.Nov 27, 2007Malignant & dogmatic ear-pain is the kindest description one should give of her singing.

JohnB.Nov 19, 2007One good song from Heart and the rest you can forget. What is Celine thinking? Some of it sounds like a Brittany Spears album. Awful songs, awful singing, unispired arrangements. A real step backwards. A few more albums like this, and I will be skipping her cd's. what a disappointment and what a sell out.

As far as standard Celine fare goes, in fact, Chances is likely her strongest non-French outing since 2002's "A New Day Has Come;" nobody unfolds a lyric with more care or nuance.
-
Packing an emotional wallop, Chances should quash critics who insist that Dion's voice is stainless steel.
-
The laborious 16-track record purportedly finds the queen of adult contemporary-turned-Vegas attraction taking chances by modernizing her treacly power ballad sound with lots of overdubbed guitars and of-the-moment collaborators.
