"There may not be 20 CD's in my entire collection (there are over 300 CD's in it) that I have been more thrilled listening to, and buying than this. This has everything. Great DJ's mixing, (Hani, Hex Hector, and Junior) multiple versions of GREAT dance tunes which sound different, long mixes (a few that clock in easily at eight or nine minutes), and a great price. One of the slower songs on her self-titled CD I'm Leavin just happens to be the best mix on this. A ten minute plus version with Hex Hector that just may have you shaking your head off in the middle of it. The only thing missing is Barry White lending guest vocals on Never Never Gonna Give You Up."
New productions give Lisa a needed kick...

"I have always thought that Lisa Stansfield had a fantastic voice and the power to become a massive diva. This album proves that I was right. The remixes of these songs shine in comparison to most of the originals. Hex Hector's remix of "I'm Leavin" (#1 & #7) is fantastic. The Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remix of "People Hold On", originally released in the early 90's with the group Coldcut, takes the bassline from the Armand Van Helden remix of Tori Amos's "Professional Widow" and makes you wanna shake your butt. But by far, the most spectacular remix on here, is Mark Picchiotti's remix of "The Real Thing". He takes this down-tempo groover and turns it into a rousing disco anthem, sure to rip up any party!."

"This EP, consisting of remixes from her sorely underappreciated self-titled album, is proof that she needs to seriously consider making more dance-oriented music. Her self-titled opus was the 3rd album ever to have 4 consecutive #1 Billboard Dance/Club Play singles, which were People Hold On, Never Never Gonna Give You Up, Never Gonna Fall, and I'm Leavin'. The whole thing is great, but my personal favorites are Junior Vasquez's remix of Never Gonna Fall, Hex Hector's remix of I'm Leavin', The DRS remix of People Hold On, and K-Klass' remix of The Real Thing. The original versions of these songs are fabulous, but the remixes bring another dimension to them, turning these songs into bonafide shakedown anthems which show off her amazing versatility. Let's hope that with her next album, she gives us more floor-shaking dance singles like these, which prove that she is a dance diva to contend with."
Amazing! What a way to start the day!

"This CD is great. I also have and love "Real Love", however, this is by far her best. Her voice is outstanding and the beats in this music get you pumped and ready to start the day. Lisa Stansfield, in my opinion, easily beats out some of the "divas" i.e. Mariah who does nothing more than use high-pitched squeals in her songs. You won't go wrong purchasing "The #1 Remixes""
