    On this album she’s singing with more rhythm, if not more clarity, than usual.

    There's nothing here that screams big hit–-but it's something better: the work of a diva who is comfortable in her own skin.

    Dion's cover of Janis Ian's rueful "At Seventeen" comes off less like a lament for childhood dreams that didn't come to pass and more like a lilting word of advice from someone old enough to know better, which is precisely the zone where the album excels: when Dion drops the act and embraces her manic, Hallmark card-brandishing guru of schmaltz.

    The finished product is almost a reinvention.

    She experiments at times with a more gravelly voice, suggesting a bid for more street appeal, but the overall effect is stiff and mechanical, minus the warmth for which she is known.

The problem is I don't feel like she's giving out anything special. The sound is a little bit too mainstream, even for an artist as mainstream as her. It's very entertaining, but I was expecting a climax (which I did not get). Still money well-spent though. Expand

    Celine's doing the same sounds from 30 years ago, she doesn't know how to reinvent herself.
