24 love songs for the true romantic. It is really one of the best love-song compilations I have ever listened to.
CD Reviews
Excellent as compilations go

"Excellent selection of songs is transformed into a must have by the inclusion of the FULL versions of these songs. I have purchased many compilations from Amazon, but this is one of a select few that actually contain the full versions of the songs (with the notable exception of Nights in White Satin): 10cc's "I'm Not in Love" is 6 minutes, Stephanie Mills "Never Knew Love Like This Before", and Peaches & Herb's "Reunited" is 5:42. I only wish it had "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates. Recommended."
Definitely the best love album!!!

"I bought this a year ago when it was first released,and I still find myself listeneing to it everyday,and falling asleep to it everynight. The ballads on here are beautiful and touching. Especially,"I'm Not in Love"by 10cc & "I Wanna Know What Love is" by Foreigner. I recommend this album to everyone!"
Classic soft rock love songs that will always be in style

"This awesome two CD set boasts a total of twenty-four tracks that are perfect "make-out" music; it's terrific to hear so many ageless tunes! There are a lot of artists on these two CDs and that's great. The quality of the sound is very, very good and I like the artwork as well.
The first CD starts with Elton John performing "Your Song." He does this with panache and I'm very impressed. Elton sings with great sensitivity and it's truly an ageless love song. Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last" has her singing at her very best and the music fits perfectly with her vocals. The Association does "Never My Love" with a lot of heart and soul; they really do this wonderfully and they never miss a beat, either! "Never My Love" is easily a major highlight of this album; and there's yet another huge, huge gem, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" which gets the royal treatment from The Bee Gees. The Bee Gees deliver this faultlessly and it's a very special, tender, melancholy song, to say the least.
Bread does "Make It with You" without ever letting go of a single superfluous note; they always made it seem so simple but of course we know it really wasn't easy--their talent carried them through every time. "Make It with You" charms me with its natural beauty and I could never tire of hearing Bread do this gorgeous song. Extreme's "More Than Words" is also very well done; the guitar arrangement is quite handsome and it all holds its own very well. We also get Eric Clapton with his tune "Wonderful Tonight;" "Wonderful Tonight" could never go out of style--this is really great music! "Up Where We Belong" gets a fine treatment by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes; and the first CD ends with The Pretenders' "I'll Stand by You."
The second CD continues the hits. Peter Frampton does "Nassau/Baby, I Love Your Way" to perfection--and beyond! His genius really shows on this track. "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" brings back good memories from when this was first released; England Dan & John Ford Coley do this one up right! In addition, Harry Nilsson's "Without You" shines brighter than silver and gold when he delivers this with so much emotion that I'm amazed. "Reunited" by Peaches & Herb is another stand-out; and listen for ABBA to do their hit entitled "Fernando." "Fernando" features ABBA doing some of their best work. Great!
Air Supply's "All Out of Love" is certainly quite beautiful; it's very pretty and easy on the ear, too. "Endless Love" will always remain a classic by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie; they sing so well together! The Moody Blues do "Nights in White Satin" with style and a lot of grace; and the second CD ends quite nicely with Rod Stewart performing "Reason to Believe."
One and Only Love Album is a two CD set that has nothing but incredibly fine, timeless love songs that are perfect for some special time all alone with your sweetheart. I highly recommend this set for anyone who enjoys classic love songs."
