"EMI did a nice job of remastering these tracks, so that they are cleaner and more dynamic than ever before. This is significant since there is so much Piaf product out there from second-generation tapes/old records/etc. Including the most well-known of Piaf's songs this, then, has become the definitive single CD of her work. Highly recommended."
Mesmerizing and enchanting...

Wonderful Compilation of Edith Piaf

"Such a pleasure to hear so many songs that Ms. Piaf made famous especially, "Milord", "La Vie En Rose", and "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien". A great compilation! I only wish a word booklet had been included, but you can't have everything. Ms. Piaf's voice is more than enough!"
Eternelle: the best of Edith Piaf

"Almost enough Piaf for a rainy afternoon. It carries me back to my college days of sitting around listening to records and drinking Chianti. It certainly is a nice slice of her career. This is a beautifully re-engineered piece of work. Nothing seems to have been lost, and the listener is the benefactor. As suggested by several folks, this is the way to get the best of her work w/o having to wade through all 2000 of her albums. I love Piaf and I love this album."
Sad life but truly wonderful voice

"Great renditions -- very soulful, rich voice -- heart-warming and moving -- very clear recordings. Makes me want to get the lyrics and sing along. Makes you feel like you're in Paris -- for less than $10. Edith Piaf was a bit before our time (we're leading edge boomers), but as long-time Francophiles we went to Amazon the day after watching "La Vie en Rose" to buy the sound-track. After reading the reviews, we decided to get "Eternelle" instead. We are very pleased with it! The Repeat button on the CD player gets a lot of use on this album."
