Celine Dion's
Falling into You returned the Canadian vocalist to the top of the American charts, and for good reason. Although the album is formulaic, it's a well-executed, stylish, and catchy formula, accentuating her natural vocal charm.
Dion shines on
ballads like
"Because You Love Me" and mock epics like
Jim Steinman's
"It's All Coming Back to Me Now." Between those two peaks, she tackles
dance-pop and love songs with grace; that effortless elegance saves the mediocre material on the album from being tedious. Though there are a couple of weak tracks,
Falling into You is a remarkably well-crafted set of
adult contemporary pop and
Dion's best album.
