"Dangerous Liaisons has been a favorite movie of mine for quite some time, not only for the intricate story line... but for what lay beyond the surface. The haunting music of this movie paints an emotional as well as intellectual vision that creates the subtle nuances that contribute so much to the essence of this film. This soundtrack is worth having in that its not distinct from the story line, but like every soundtrack worth its salt it contributes to and adds a vibrant depth to what is on the screen. The music is also multi-faceted in that it is not only enjoyable to listen to when thinking of the movie itself, but it also makes wonderful background music to an intimate dinner or just time spent relaxing after a long day. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a truly excellent CD."

"This soundtrack has the track with the Handel aria Ombra mai fu, which is sung by Paolo Abel do Nascimento, a natural castrato, who also is visible in the film. You can hear him hitting really high notes without breaking up or sounding shrill. The recording gets five stars simply for including this precious track.
