"I snagged this album after looking at the awesome track list. First thing I noticed is that "I Wanna Be The One" by Stevie B isn't here, but later I found out that it was on the 2-disc version of this compilation. The single disc version (sold here and retail stores) omits that song.
Otherwise, the rest of the songs are awesome. Like "Diamond Girl," a song that I often heard back in the day. I heard it being played again on the radio like a year or so ago and I couldn't find a compilation CD or an MP3 of the song. When I saw this was included, I knew I gotta have this disc. Another jam that I have not heard in a while would be "Sincerely Yours" by Sweet Sensation. Some of the songs in here were also included in a previous R&T compilation, "Teen Riot," by the way.
I only have one gripe in here, and that would be the final song, "In A Dream" by Rockell, why did they have to fade the ending?? It's not supposed to be like that!
I recommend this compilation to everyone who is interested in this genre."
Now *this* is what you call a compilation!

"Billboard take note!
Every single song on this CD were not only songs that I knew and loved in the late-80s and early-90s, but they were all hits.
"Spring Love" and "Diamond Girl" had alternate mixes that had heavy radio airplay, and the mixes featured here I was pleased to remember (as opposed to being disappointed with a lesser-known mix).
There is one disappointment with this CD and it is that it comes to an end. By the time it has finished playing, though, you'll be in a much better mood. - Donna Di Giacomo"

"THIS IS A GREAT CD. ITS FULL OF FREESTYLE HITS FROM THE LATE 80S AND EARLY 90S. MOST OF THE SONGS ON THIS CD DONT EVEN GET PLAYED ON THE RADIO ANYMORE. IF YOU WORK OUT THIS IS THE CD FOR YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE FAVORITES ON THIS CD- "TWO TO MAKE IT RIGHT" AND "SPING LOVE". 2 SONGS I GREW UP LISTENING TO. I WOULD SPEND MY LAST $20 ON THIS CD AND I THINK YOU SHOULD TOO."
For those among us whose Fever for Dance Burns Hotter then S

"This CD has many great popular Freestyle songs .There is no reason to not get it.
Although I recomend the two disk version, this CD is also very good but not as long. I would give the 2 disk set a 5 star rating.
The one disk will make you feel cheated compared to the 2 disk set.
Any freak would beg for the full pallette of songs.
This one disk version omits the biggest Freestyle star .
Ms.Judy Torres is not on the CD.
Judy has been feeding us Freaks the beat for our feet for a long time and still does.
Where would Freestyle be without her and all her sexy vocal Latinaness.
Her missing may hurt sales.Whoever caused that made a big mistake.
It gives me many hours of dance pleasure a week.
I wish that a volume 2 and more of ths CD becomes available.
I would also like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to all the Freestyle singers who provide this pleasure to us Freaks.
I also appreciate all the reviews that are posted so I can also learn.
Well, I do hope that this review helps .
It has been a pleasure to supply input.
Respectively,
Michael
Now go play the CD and Dance. Express yourself .Dancing to that music even takes the blues away. Freestyle Music is like Medicine."
