Editorial Review:
Released three months after her murder in 1995, Dreaming of You introduced the Tejano queen to the mainstream pop audience. Four new tunes recorded with producers Keith Thomas and Guy Roche envisioned Selena as a dance-pop diva similar to Janet Jackson or Mariah Carey, but with a Latin twist. Far more arresting are the two classic mariachi numbers and a bilingual duet with David Byrne recorded for the movie Don Juan DeMarco, in which Selena had a bit part. The contrast between her passionate invitation to "come dance with me" and Byrne's nerdy white-guy delivery indicated her wide-open creative potential. The rest of the album consists of remixes of Selena's Latin-pop hits, including a masterful version of "Techno Cumbia" that bring out the hip-hop and reggae flavors in the groove. The tragedy was that such a promising introduction also served as a sad farewell. --Rick Mitchell

Sorry To selenas family memeber and to her fans
2003-08-06 - I thought that it was tradgic on what yolanda salvidor did to selena... And if it wasnt for her selena would be on top still to this day... and even though shes dead she still is... She will live on forever in music as people put it... I just couldnt imagine what it would be like to loose a sister, a daughter, and a wife... all do to the fact that she had to be selfish and greddy like she was... And I Think that J.lo jennifer lopez and Selena strike a strong resemlence and they talk and laugh just like one another... its so wierd ...I watch "Selena the movie" on v-h1 on tv whenever its on... Well thats all that i have to say for now... Sorry for your loss i know it must be hard to loose someone... Terra
SELENA IS THE BEST
2003-05-25 - SHE STILL IS THE QUEEN OF MUSIC NO ONE IS BETTER THAN HER AND SHE IS NOT PHONY LIKE THE OTHER SINGERS
A TESTAMENT TO SELENA'S DREAMS
2003-04-29 - Not many albums completely encompass a singer's full potential or talent, and "Dreaming Of You" is an exception. Selena's final English recordings are a brilliant testament to what might have been, what should have been.
Abraham Quantinilla, as we all know, is a brilliant man (and a brilliant sales-man), and when he put this record together he did so with great care. Along with such Selena classics as "Dreaming of You" and "I Could Fall In Love", he remastered and remixed some of her old tracks to make them more accessible to a new generation. With such firey songs as "Captive Heart" and "Techno Cumbia", he mixes in light hearted love songs such as "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and "Missing My Baby". He covers Selena's entire heart-felt range from sugary love ballads, up-tempo cumbias, the classica, to tearful mariachi's, really showcasing Selena's vocal talent. One of the most striking tracks, "God's Child", is both haunting and melodic as Selena's searing vocals soar next to David Baird's enthusiastic guitar and gritty voice. While the new Spanglish version of "wherever you are" just seems to be clever re-packaging, it feels kind of empty knowing it was re-recorded without the help of Selena.
The vocal promise of this rising young star is completely visible in the record. It is both saddening and uplifting as the best track, the title track, hits the speakers. Although it's probably not intended to be, this is a bittersweet melody that is both light-hearted and tender...and one of Selena's best songs. This album is one of greatness, and should be owned by any true Selena fan.
