Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Marc Anthony comes on like a suave, less jumpy alternative to Ricky Martin on this mostly English-language album. Having already introduced itself to the pop mainstream with the salsa-tinged single "I Need to Know," Marc Anthony offers several other obvious crossover hits, ranging from the Rodney Jerkins-produced Latin-funk fusion of "She's Been Good to Me" to the lovelorn midtempo ballad "When I Dream at Night." However, Anthony's agreeably keening voice is too often applied to the sort of colorless adult-contemporary material typical of Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey mainstay Walter Afansieff, who produces or coproduces three tracks here. The result is often more interesting in sociological terms--Anthony fans who, like the star, were born to Latino parents in America are as sure to eat this disc up as his new Caucasian admirers--than in musical ones. Ain't that America? --Rickey Wright

I loved this entire CD !!! I downloaded all of it into my shuffle. Normally, I will only download a few select songs that I like from a CD into my shuffle. Worth the purchase.
Marc Anthony
I'm not really a fan of Marc Anthony, however this CD is brilliant. I listen to it all the time.
The Best
Marc Anthony is one of my favorite performers anyway, but this album's selections are the best of the best of his songs. It will get you movng to the sensuous Latin rhythm and lip-syncing along with the lyrics.
Marc Anthony has talent, not "star power"
I recently reviewed Lopez's new album, which got a scathing review from me, and, as I mentioned in that review, I said Marc Anthony is a much more talented and heartfelt artist. I felt somehow compelled to follow-up on this and deliver an explanation why.
First of all, I've heard Anthony's music before, and he's definitely got talent and charisma. While he isn't a conventionally good-looking man, he uses his charisma in a quiet way, and doesn't need to "shout" it out at you. This is a good sign. It means the music is more important than his image.
Secondly, all it takes is one listen to "When I Dream At Night" to know that Anthony has the power to move someone with his voice. I know that musical purists will probably disagree to some point or another, but his singing style shows not only talent, but training.
