"I love Andrea Bocelli! I pre-ordered this CD and did not know what songs were there as they were not listed on this site at the time. The songs are absolutely wonderful BUT I have heard them all many times. I waited 4-5 weeks everyday, looking for this CD to come. I was very disappointed. I needed something new. If you don't have any of Bocelli's CDs, you will love it and are truly lucky to own this one. However, the CD was much too expensive (total about $33.00) for songs I already have. Sadly waiting for more."

Trashy reincarnation of his music

"Okay, all you Bocelli fans out there, get over it: this "new" album is nothing more than recycled tracks. That's understandable since it's his Japanese debut, but for THAT MUCH?!? I DON'T THINK SO! I have decided NOT to waste my money on "Il Mare Calmo Della Sera" or the 1995 "Bocelli" album, because a lot of the material is seriously "overplayed." Or this one because I have all those damn songs on "Romanza" and "Sogno." It's starting to come to me while at the same time Andrea's been doing "covers" (Il Mare Calmo Della Sera is a Malise song), he's also "reincarnating" a lot of the songs he's sung and putting them on other CDs. COME ON, ANDREA, I KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS! Anyway, a new classical album by Bocelli called "Love Duets" will be out soon, but if only he were more productive and quit putting the same songs on different CDs. Now you know why I don't collect CD singles of his. I'd advise you all NOT to waste money on this or any of Bocelli's singles except the Canto Della Terra (#5634592) and other albums that DON'T have the same material all over again. If you're a die-hard fan, that's a different story. As for me, I'm saving my money for subsequent non-recycled material by my favorite singer and at the same time thinking of writing to Insieme S.R.L. and BEGGING them to have Bocelli do dance remixes of future singles. That's one thing I seriously want from him more than ever."

Most extensive Bocelli album, but....

"Okay, okay, I AM obsessed with Andrea and the song Per Amore. The material that highlights this whole album was taken from Romanza and Sogno, thus making this his most extensive "Greatest Hits" collection. It's just the lack of new material that really disappoints me. New fans who don't have a single one of his CDs and who might particularly want "the album with the most extensive line of material" might love this (be prepared to pay a lot of money). True Bocelli fans will love this album but will probably still wait (like I am) for more, more, more."
