Amazon.co.uk Review
It didn't take the post-motherhood Ray of Light to prove that Madonna is a big softie; this collection of ballads and slow jams had already done that. Somewhat confused in intention--the scalding ache of "Oh Father", a 1989 song for her own dad, is shoved between the sex of "Rain" and a version of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You"--this is nonetheless a highly listenable album for those who dig Madonna for her music as much as for her cultural significance. --Rickey Wright

When I heard about "Something to Remember", I basically cringed. But it wasn't as bad as I thought. OK, it does take you down memory lane a bit, well wouldn't it! Definately not GRAMMY AWARD winning, but definately to add to your Madonna survival kit! Also track 8 "Love Don't Live Here Anymore (Remix)" is worse than the normal "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" from the album "Like a Virgin", why bother remixing it if it's terrible!
 My all time Favourite Madonna album March 27, 2008
Something to Remember is by far my all time favourite Madonna album. It is chilled, laid back and thoughtful, and I love it. My favourite tracks are 'This used to be my Playground' 'Rain' 'Something to Remember' and 'Oh Father'. It is quite a reflective album I feel, and not as loud and obvious as some of her other work. I have always been a big Madonna fan, I totally admire the woman, she is fearless. However, this album shows a gentler side to her, a more likeable persona I think. I like to have it playing when I am in a pensive frame of mind, thinking back over times in my life. It's a dear friend to me, and one I treasure.

MADONNA was in back-to-back film projects when this unheralded collection hit the stores just a year after the bedtime stories album, spanning her first 12 years, this compiles a selection of ballads, most of which were not included on madonna's GHV2 greatest hits album.
The romantic theme is scotched somewhat by her scolding song about her own father, but it's a minor quibble.
Showcasing her emotional vocal range far way before she played the icon in the film evita, highlights include a cover of marvin gaye's I WANT YOU and her very own wonderful RAIN, a reminder that Madonna is adept at brooding longing as she is at controversy, a brilliant album with huge amounts of emotion and songs you can really relate to 10 out 0f 10!
Defintely something memorable August 13, 2004

Something To Remember is Madonna's second compilation and is advertised as "A collection of her finest ballads", which is completely true. Despite a few naff tracks, namely "I'll Remember" and "One More Chance", there are plenty of highlights here. Her duet with Massive Attack, "I Want You", is both moving and chilling, and her all her classic ballads including "Live To Tell", "Crazy For You" and "Take A Bow" are here. If you're not much of a Madonna collector and only own The Immaculate Collection and GHV2, Something To Remember is another essential, especially if you're a fan of ballads.
Definately one to remember... January 21, 2004

Madonna put this compilation together, to remind people that she is a talented artist, and that she is not all about 'controversy'.This is not a greatest hits (get'The Immaculate Collection' and 'GHV2') but complements them beautifully.
It is a collection of her greatest ballads, the majority of which were singles (9), but it includes greats such as the title track, lifted off the 'I'm Breathless' album, 'Forbidden Love' taken from 'Bedtime Stories', and 3 brand new tracks, 'You'll See', 'One More Chance' and 'I Want You' with Massive Attack (in 2 different versions).
9 of these tracks you cant get on any other Madonna compilation. A worthwhile additon to your music collection.
