Editorial Review:
Throughout her 25-year career, Céline Dion has always been filled with great pride and love regarding her French-Canadian heritage, yet in all her years of performing--since her debut as a songwriter at the age of 12--she has never put out an official French Greatest Hits disc in her first language... until now. The double-disc collection is filled with songs spanning her incredibly successful career; with liner notes (written solely in French) that talk about how Céline spent many years learning her craft from respected singer-songwriters who took a young chanteuse under their wings, from Luc Plamondon to Jean-Jacques Goldman. Aside from the previously released tracks, which include her bubbly hit "Je Danse Dans Ma Tête," the emotive "Ziggy," and the beautiful "Sous Le Vent," a duet with French sensation Garou there are three new tunes to entice fans. Only one is in English, the opera-meets-Titanic sounding "I Believe in You," a duet with Il Divo; the remaining two are the understated "Je Ne Vous Oublie Pas" and "Tous Les Secrets," a song about unconditional love. The one element that is frustratingly absent is the lack of information about the individual tracks in the liner notes: Nowhere is there a year of release for each of the 36 songs, nor a story about each song's history. That said, this disc will prove to be a definitive collection to her devoted French fans. --Denise Sheppard

On Ne Change Pas Reviews:
On Ne Change Pas (We Don't Change)-Perfect title for this great collection! 
2007-05-18 - And indeed,she doesn't change. CD 1 is French hits from the '90's and early 2000's. CD 2 is some songs from the 90's as well as many of the French songs she recorded throughout the 80's. Listen to the 1st disc and then the 2nd disc, and you'll see that her voice was just as powerful in her later years as it was in her early career. This album will definitely show you a true artist whose talent didn't diminish with age (unlike a lot of other singers out there!). Buy this-even if (like me) you're an American who doesn't understand French a bit. It is a real treat for all Celine Dion fans. (And now that I've listened to this album, I am definitely looking forward to the release of her new French album "D'elles" next week!)
Buy This CD
2007-03-07 - Great selections of Céline at her best! This is a must buy for any Celine Dion fan. This contains an ecletic mix of everything from Rock to Pop, to ballads, to country...all in français!
Celine's magic years 
2006-09-01 - A good and complete collection of Celine's french songs. All of her hits, plus exclusive rare bonus tracks and new good songs: the first single "Je ne vous oublie pas", as well as "Tous les secrets" and beautiful "I believe in you" with Il Divo.
It's a good album, full of memories of the past golden years, when Dion topped the charts of french speaking countries.
To be honest with you, sounds strange to read some of the other reviews, where people blame Celine for having realeased this album instead of a new collection of english songs..for those who think this way, I would like to remember that this is a french Greatest Hits album, and it's been sold in the US too, but it's not a product dedicated to the US....so why you compare it to Falling into you or All the way? It's ridiculous, it's like you compare fish with meat....
Ju leur dirai
2006-05-09 - I find this CD very enjoyable. I love the listen to Je lui dirai and J'irai ou tu iras to put me in a good mood in the morning and s'il suffisail is just beautiful. If you don't like the french music Celine records, you should stick to her english releases.
best of Celine (in French)
2006-03-17 - Being originally from Quebec (where Celine is from), I recognized a lot of the older songs on this double CD - specially CD 2. It is a must have for any Celine fan. Listening to her old songs brought a lot of memories back and I enjoyed the CD mostly because of this reason.
