With The Remixes, Mariah Carey presents another compilation that can go on the shelf next to her #1's and Greatest Hits. This two-disc set features Carey's best bits reworked by a number of famous names in the dance world including David Morales, Junior Vasquez, and C&C Music Factory (aka David Cole and Robert Clivilles). As a thumbnail portrait of this Long Island native's career, the collection balances dance-floor-ready remixes with grittier hip-hop tracks. As a result, the first disc features nine of her biggest club hits, including "Dream Lover," "Fantasy," "Emotions," and "Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)."

Also notable is the Carey/Vasquez team-up on "Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely." Disc two can easily be considered the Mariah Carey rap disc, as many of the songs feature her work with some of hip-hop's biggest stars, including Snoop Dogg ("Crybaby"), Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad ("I Know What You Want"), and the always-outrageous O.D.B. ("Fantasy").
