Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
From 1989 to 1991, Roxette dominated the charts with a string of super-dramatic hits. "Listen to Your Heart," "It Must Have Been Love," "Fading like a Flower"--classics all, and they're all here, along with much else. Their ballads don't always follow the duo's comic dictum—Don't bore us, get to the chorus." "Queen of Rain," with its moving oboe breaks, takes time to grow, as does the string-laden "Crash! Boom! Bang!" There are misses here, too, notably "You Don't Understand Me," co-written with hit-maker Desmond Child, and "Salvation" sounds like a collage of other people's work. Fortunately, the two new tracks--"A Thing About You" (sung by songwriter Per Gessle) and "Breathe"--are sweet and strong enough to repair the damage. --Dominic Wills

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The wheel of talent!
After the appearing of Simon & Garefunkel and the Carpenters - between the middle sixties and the middle seventies - exception apart of other not less remarkable duos like Zagger & Evans (In the year 2525) on the international stages, the musical world had to wait (fortunately not so long) for three duos that literally cornered the last two decades due its imposing personality every one of them from a different perspective. Hall & Oates, Air Supply and obviously Roxette, who knew impress a set ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Something to slow dance to
If you have a date that you like to slow dance to or romanticize this is the disc to listen to.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ULTIMATE ROXETTE PART ONE
DEFINITIVELY THE BEST SONGS OF ROXETTE ARE THE BALLADS, THIS ALBUM CONTAINS ALL THEIR GREATEST HITS FROM THIS GENERE, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS CD IS A REMASTER BUT SOUNDS VERY GOOD, AND IF YOU WANT THE TOTAL ROXETTE HITS GET THIS WITH "THE POP HITS" ALBUM, THERE ARE "THE LOOK","DRESSED FOR SUCCES","JOYRIDE","DANGEROUS", AND MORE, IT SOUNDS VERY GOOD TOO, TOGETHER MAKE THE ULTIMATE ROXETTE, VERY RECOMENDABLE.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A masterpiece for fans; a great intro for Roxette virgins
This album does exactly what a greatest hits package should do -- showcase a group at its best. Roxette fans already know the material here, so seeing the songs that ended up on this collection of ballads will come as no surprise. If for some reason you were on Mars for the past 15 years or so (or maybe you weren't old enough) and missed out on even the relatively brief U.S. infatuation with Sweden's dynamic duo, here's a great chance to see what Europe has loved for more than a decade.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What becomes of the broken hearted??
Roxette writes songs for us, that's what happens dammit!!! As a proud wearer of two tattoos of broken hearts(damn scoundrels!!!); I can attest that this cd is perfect for making you feel melancholy. It's Roxette at it's best; moody, dark, and also just the right amount of tenderness. This is something you want to listen to alone for the first few times; alone in a darkened room, cd playing, glass of wine or beer nearby, and the memories of the good or bad relationships you've had. Then you'll be able ... Read More
