While many Jim Brickman fans claim a stronger allegiance to the pianist/songwriter's non-vocal works, even they have to concede that the Cleveland native has an uncanny touch for crafting catchy, affecting love songs. Many of Brickman's best-known heart-tuggers are on display here, a relatively brief disc (43 minutes) that samples nine of the 10 recordings released during the first decade (1994-2003) of Brickman's career. The breakdown: Five instrumental tracks (one of them "Partners in Crime," his oversaxed, smooth jazz-targeted duet with Dave Koz), six older vocal selections, and two new vocal tracks--the winner being "'Til I See You Again," an engaging, upbeat piece authored by producer David Grow and sung with from-the-mountaintop vigor by Christian vocalist Mark Schultz. Outside of the straining, Mariah Carey-like excesses of "Destiny," the selections here are easy to digest, yet they exhibit a level of sophistication that smartly counteracts their modest saccharine/sentimentality content. This is no small feat--a testament to Brickman's intuitive link to deeper, hard-to-articulate human yearnings and his connection to clear-eyed romantics searching for an antidote to a world gone wild with cynicism. --Terry Wood

 ISN'T IT ROMANTIC? May 12, 2004

Always a master at snugglin' and cuddlin's music, Jim Brickman's Greatest Hits brings us the best of his ten year career. The CD is released to coincide with a major U.S. tour. For me, favorites from the past for me among the 11 classics are "Love of My Life" with Michael W. Smith, and "By Heart" with Laura Creamer. Both are sigh producing melodies. Two new tracks recorded for this collection include "My Loves Is Here," hauntingly sung by Canadian Roch Voisone, and Brickman's instrumental "Angel Eyes." Uncork the wine, turn the lights low, and enjoy.
 What A Decade! May 6, 2004

WOW! Who would of guessed that 10 years ago, this jingle writer, from Cleveland, Ohio, would turn out to be "America's New Romantic Piano Sensation" With this compilation of a few of his hits from the past 10 years, it is easy to understand why he is referred to as "America's New Romantic Piano Sensation" This cd just goes to prove that there is a place in the world for solo, romantic piano music with or without vocals. The list of collaborators reads like a "Who's Who" from all genres of the music industry. Jim has this uncanny ability for picking the newcomers {such as Rebecca Lynn Howard on "Simple Things"} to grace his cd's right down to the "regulars", {Dave Koz, Martina McBride, and Michael W. Smith, to name a few} that appear with him. This cd is an example of why Jim Brickman's career has been sustained over the past 10 years. This cd is a MUST HAVE for the true Jim Brickman fan to add to their collection. And in typical "Brickman" fashion, so the critics can't say that this cd is just a re-recording of songs already done, he has included 2 bonus tracks with a couple of newcomers. This cd features his new hit single called "Til I See You Again" with rich vocals by Mark Schultz. And the last track called "My Love Is Here" features a vocalist by the name of Roch Voisine, whose voice evokes a quiet calm when listening to him interpret Jim Brickman's music. Jim, I don't know how you do it! HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY! on your wonderful recording career. And here's to the next 10 years!

I ordered this CD for a specific song that I wanted to play at my wedding. When I got the CD I found several beautiful songs that I didn't know were on it. I was pleasantly surprised and it was shipped to me in time for my wedding. Thank you Amazon and Jim Brickman!

I was introduced to his music on a very long flight back from Europe. They played an interview with Jim and also played several full selections from this CD. The music was enjoyable and so relaxing. It also prompted me to look into the sheet music since I am a piano player.
