A talent like Jennifer Warnes should not be so obscure now. Her stuff is great and familiar once you hear it. Extremely Hard to find CD but Amazon had it.
To Dream of Angels January 11, 2007

Jennifer Warnes voice is what I always dreamed angels must sound like. I'm sure I'm right. In fact, I know I'm right. How many times has her music made my day over the last twenty or so years of listening to it. So many times. I invite ANYONE who has a sensitive heart to listen to this music. It is HEART FOOD of the highest order. I challenge anyone to listen to songs like "I'm Restless" or "I'm Dreaming" and not be moved. I'm currently looking for the world Jennifer sings about in her wonderful music. As soon as I find it I'm gonna live there.
Her pop-country music 1976 to 1982 February 21, 2005

Jennifer's career has been varied to say the least. I suspect that she is, at heart, a folkie, but she has scored major international pop hits with a couple of movie themes (Up where we belong, I've had the time of my life) both of which were duets that became top ten hits in Britain and topped the American charts. In between those two hits, Jennifer recorded an excellent Leonard Cohen tribute (Famous blue raincoat). All those recordings are outside the scope of this collection, which focuses on her recordings for Arista between 1976 and 1982.
The tracks here include Jennifer's breakthrough hit, Right time of the night, which was an American top ten pop hit and also topped the country charts. I know a heartache when I see one, another excellent song, also made a big impact in America. Jennifer demonstrated her songwriting ability by contributing two songs here (I'm restless, Shot through the heart) but also showed her ability to interpret a classic - Run to her (a gender-adapted update of Bobby Vee's Run to him). Elsewhere, It goes like it goes (from the movie Norma Rae), When the feeling comes around, Could it be love, I'm dreaming and Come to me are all brilliant.
A career-spanning retrospective is available on the Raven label, so you may prefer to buy that but it contains many different musical styles so it won't appeal to everybody. The tracks on this album sit together comfortably. The overall style is pop with a country flavor. If you enjoy listening to the Carpenters, you will probably enjoy this album.
 Not Her Very Best - But Still Very Good December 17, 2004

Like other reviewers, I agree this CD is not the sum of Jennifer Warnes' total greatest hits. When Arista released it in 1982, it reflected her best work up 'til then. Nonetheless, it's still a great CD.
A number of her songs, while very pop-oriented, seem to have bits of the Southern California country rock genre that was best exemplified by the Eagles. You can certainly hear it in "Right Time Of The Night".
Whether intentional or not, the songs on this CD seem to reflect the feeling of unrequited love and yet they never reach the heart-sick sappiness of that type of music.
Her most well-known song on this CD is "Right Time Of The Night" but to me, her best song is "I'm Dreaming", a minor hit that saw some airplay in the late 1970's. This song captures the some-times wistful feelings of her songs.
If you like Jennifer Warnes and/or light pop-rock, this is definitely the CD for you.
 Good, not great... January 11, 2003

"The Best of Jennifer Warnes" was released in 1982 on Arista Records, before Warnes' #1 duets "Up Where We Belong" and "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" burned up the American pop charts and became classics. Of course, this album was also compiled before Warnes' best album (1986's "Famous Blue Raincoat") was released. Therefore, this CD is really only a "best of" representing her earlier career. Warnes' two Top 20 solo hits from the '70s ("I Know A Heartache When I See One" and "Right Time of the Night") are here. But the rest of the material is probably nothing most listeners would recognize from the radio, with the possible exception of Warnes' modestly selling remake of Juice Newton's "Come To Me," which was the single from this album. Jennifer Warnes sounds great. I mean, what a voice! But this CD contains only ten songs, none of which are remastered...so it leaves something to be desired as far as an overall view of her hit-making career. While this is a good CD...I mean, it *IS* Jennifer Warnes, there is a better (albeit still incomplete) Jennifer Warnes compilation available called "First We'll Take Manhattan", so I recommend that one. But for casual fans of '70s music, this CD should fit the bill.
