TimS.Nov 20, 2007Solid Celine the way we love her. Even if she debuts at 2 or 3 on billboard behind keys, the album will outsell As I am in the long run, because that is just how celine dion has always worked. In the long run, she is the best singer of our times....

MicheleNov 21, 2007Fantastic album. No other singer compares with Celine. And with her looks, I like to think of her as the new Cher.

May 25, 2012This is a great album. Her voice in this album is really good. The tracks are good and I can really connect to it. I don't understand why some users gave it a 0 or 1. All I know is...this is a great one from Celine Dion.............

MikeTNov 15, 2007It's a good album. Celine's back with a new "update" sound and it's what she needed. I'm not sure of her new way of singing -- I think there's sometimes a lack of vocal "technique" if we compared with the way she sang in the past on "Falling Into You" album for example -- where it was perfect.

StephenM.Nov 16, 2007I eagerly awaited this new album. The title track is a winner. The rest of the album, which is sags a little in the middle, is still solid Celine. The biggest chance she's taking with this album is that crazy hair she's sporting on the cover.

SimonC.Nov 17, 2007It's a gr8 album from Celine. Her voice glides effortlessly from deep whispers to dead-on high notes, a sweet siren that combines force with grace.

JohnBNov 29, 2007I loved every one on this album. But then I enjoy all her music. Gald to have her back with such a bang.

JohnSNov 15, 2007The album is fantastic. 16 tracks, and a lot of heart & soul & "talent" went into. Screw the critics-especially since she is an easy one for them to pick on. I've seen the ladt perform live on several occasions and she can "Really" sing her heart out! Great album and along time coming.

LouiseL.Nov 19, 2007Just love her new cd Taking chances! Can't wait to see Celine THE unique performer on stage with those new songs. Welcome back Celine!

May 12, 2013It is a really good album. She tried to do something different, and that is what she did. The sound and lyrics are brilliant, the only problem is the too long length of the album. I think she could did a masterpiece without so many songs.

Oct 23, 2017Celine Dion é uma das poucas cantoras que fico animado quando lançam um CD. Esse CD marcou o ano de 2007, com a super faixa título e a turnê que se tornou uma das mais lucrativas de todos os tempos.
Awards & Rankings
-
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.
