This compendium of hits gives me Ms Rimes' marvelous voice singing in my room and it can't get much better than that. Lots of young women sing, and some sing well. LeAnn Rimes crowds the angels.Free Music Review: Greatest Hits by Leann Rimes

I personally love so many of LeAnn Rimes' songs, that a greatest hits compilation would be useless for me. But I purchased this because I wanted to own a bit of her music opposed to just borrowing my sister's CDs. Funny thing is, I've been a fan as long as my sister has (or longer), but thought that since she owned the CDs, I didn't need to waste my money on them. But LeAnn is one of those rare artists whose music is actually worthy of being purchased. In the future I plan to finally complete my collection of her music, but to start it off, I bought her greatest hits album because I was certain it would be a good buy. And it was. Nearly everything she released between '97 and '03 is on the main disc (except for But I Do Love You and Looking Through Your Eyes), and the second disc has a few videos available. From what I remember of the videos is Blue, One Way Ticket, How Do I Live and a live performance of Can't Fight the Moonlight. There may have been more, but I honestly can not remember. I feel the video disc left a lot to be desired, but it's forgivable when the actual compilation is so impressive. I do love the remix to Can't Fight the Moonlight, but the original would have made more sense to include in the greatest hits collection - that's of course unless the remix version of a song is what becomes the actual hit. I do remember the remix for CFTM playing on the radio more than the original song - however, the original song is what became popular. It's confusing, so I suppose simply including either version of the song was acceptable. The only other minor problem with this collection was the actual sequence of the songs. In my opinion, they should have gone in order of how they were released. Throwing CFTM in the middle of How Do I Live and One Way Ticket was weird, but also the fact that How Do I Live is listed before OWT is also odd. The sequence is wrong all around, but I guess just the point of hearing the songs is all that should matter. I considered that the sequence was done this way to cause the largest "hits" to be accessible first and foremost. For a true fan, however, LeAnn does an equal job on all of her songs, so placing hits first is not really necessary. I also considered that greatest hits albums are usually bought by people trying to get an overall feel for an artist's talent. And so it is a good idea to place the songs most people have heard first. Believe me, there are some really lazy, thrown-together greatest hits albums out there (the kind that leave off half the songs you love so that the label can make more money by releasing a second greatest hits CD later on) - but this is not one of them. I definitely recommend it if you are a newer LeAnn Rimes fan.
(I thought I was finished but after checking out this tracklisting again, I thought I'd mention that the last few unreleased songs are pretty much forgettable.)

An excellent collection of Rimes' stuff into 2003. LeAnn has a powerhouse voice and it's well on display here. LeAnn wafles between pop and country in her career and that mix is apparent on this collection. This album is not a country album. What it is is a lot of stirring hits and great music from a lady with a tremendous voice. Here are my favs:
Blue - female crooning
How Do I Live
Can't Fight the Moonlight
One Way Ticket
Light in YOur Eyes - awesome
Nothin' New Under the Moon - also excellent
Big Deal - humorous. Singer is fed up with friend's wonderful romance
