What is your absolute favorite Celine Dion track on this collection? Drop a comment below and let’s discuss her greatest vocal moments!

16. I Drove All Night (2003)

Originally recorded by Roy Orbison and later by Cyndi Lauper, Celine’s version leans into the electronic 80s revival. The music video, featuring a Terminator-style fantasy sequence, was a massive hit on VH1. It is the best "driving song" in her catalog and offers a break from the ballads.

Critical Reception

Critics were surprisingly warm. AllMusic gave it 4.5/5 stars, noting that "even cynics will be moved by the sheer craft of tracks 2 through 6." The Guardian called it "a karaoke bible for the lovelorn." While some argued that her French hits (like “Pour Que Tu M’aimes Encore”) were missing, the brief of the album was always "My Love" – the English global hits.

3. It’s All Coming Back to Me Now (1996)

Written by Jim Steinman (of Meat Loaf fame), this is the most theatrical track on the list. At nearly 8 minutes in its original form (edited to 5:31 here), it is a gothic, thunderous rock ballad about resurrected passion. The music video, featuring a motorcycle-riding ghost, is as iconic as the song itself.

8. To Love You More (1995 – Japanese release)

Initially released only in Japan as the theme for a drama, this song became so popular that tourists bought it overseas and demanded a US release. Featuring a haunting violin solo by Taro Hakase, it is a quintessential "Celine Cry." The lyric, "I’ll be waiting for you / Here inside my heart," is the definition of the "Essential Collection."

19. I Knew I Loved You (2007 – previously unreleased in the US)

Not to be confused with the Savage Garden song, this track was originally recorded for the Titanic soundtrack but left off. Finally polished for Taking Chances, it has a classic Diane Warren structure—simple, direct, and achingly romantic.
