This is a album by Mariah, which shows her focusing more on ballads than uptempo pieces. From the beautifulness of "Dreamlover" & "Hero" to the sweetness of "Music Box", this is an unforgettable album!
A Flawless Album That Certainly Had Universal Appeal. - By: R. Birkett, 21 Jun 2008 `Music Box' was Mariah Carey's 3rd album, it was the last album of Carey's that did not include a single collaboration or guest, as well as being one of the biggest selling albumsin music history, the only reason for this could be the 3 chart toping singles it produced, including the killer record breaking ballad `Hero', what also sold this album was the fact it had universal appeal, meaning you wouldn't have to be a huge Mariah Carey fan to own it, as you could appreciate it for it's more mainstream `pop' sound.
The quality of the material on this album is excellent, but if I had to choose, my personal favourites would have to be the very gospel inspired `Anytime You Need A Friend', a theme or genre that Carey would later use again on songs such as `Fly Like A Bird' from 2005's `The Emancipation Of Mimi`, `Without You', the sultry & soothing `Music Box', `Just To Hold You Once Again' & `All I've Ever Wanted`.
Overall i really could not fault a single song on here, they all have nice melody's & fantastic hooks, the ballads are true ballads with amazing vocals, same goes for the more upbeat songs,in my opinion the whole album could have been made into singles, & you really can't make that statement about many albums, although i think this album has slightly too much of the commercial 'pop' mainstream factor rather than depth, it's still a real pleasure too listen to time & time again.
Vintage Mariah Carey - By: Shanghaichica, 10 Jan 2008 
Vintage Mariah Carey. Beautiful ballards - the ones we know & love like Hero & can't live, but these were not actually my favourites, some of the less successful singles like anytime you need a friend, & then songs which were not even released as singles were even more beautiful like music box, just to hold you once again, all I've ever wanted & even the bonus track everything fades away. This is the biggest selling mariah carey album to date & was around the time when I really got into Mariah seriously, I had emotions & really liked that but this was the one that got me hooked but having said that it's not my favourite album give me butterfly any day. Still an amazing album though. I give it 4 stars only because Mariah has made better albums & therefore I must distinguish this by giving these 5 stars.
Carey's biggest commercial success - By: Jay, 31 Mar 2007 The first 3 songs are very good namely Dreamlover, Hero & Anytime You Need A Friend.This was her biggest commercial success & possibly her best ever album. My personal favourite is Hero,
The voice of an angel - By: L. T. Whitehall, 05 Aug 2005 Mariah Carey truly has the voice of an angel. Neverin a million years did I think possible, a singer would ever have a voice as good as this. There is not a wordin the dictionary to describe the sensational vocal ability she is capable of. Her voice sends a shiver down my spine, it's unbelievable. My favourite songs on the album are: Hero, Without you, & All I've ever wanted. This album truly is amazing & has not left my cd player since the day I bought it.
