Under the cheery cover art and peppy beats of many of the tunes, the second volume of Selena's
Todos Mis Exitos is suffused with loss. Among the most poignant numbers is "Fotos y Recuerdos," a cover of the Pretenders' "Back on the Chain Gang"; even the most upbeat cuts, such as a live version of "Bidi, Bidi, Bom Bom," are unavoidably edged with sadness. Still, the fact that packages like this one continue to appear is a testament to the fact that, several years after her murder, Selena Quintanilla's legacy has maintained its potency.

Rare Selena songs mix with live tracks.......2002-10-18
I'm glad their is a volume 2 because you get two live song, some rare selena songs and an unplugged song. I think it is all worth wild to get volume 2 just because of the songs that we have heard and the live tracks. But in all it a good cd and I am glad I bought it.
Not too good........2002-06-01
I agree with the last reviewer, this CD is no good at all. I got it as a graduation present. Heard the whole thing a couple times and didn't like it. All the songs are played out. Some of the songs have a new twist but who cares? I liked Selena's "Live" and "Entre a Mi Mundo" CD's in which she displayed a great deal of talent but it's hard for any artist to stay on top for very long and I really think that by the time the "Amor Prohibido" CD was released she was pretty much out of ideas. Can't imagine this CD earning 5 stars from any honest and objective reviewer.
I'm a Selena fan.........2002-04-27
I am a fan of Selena's older music and I think it's too bad that none of these compilations that have been released in the last few years have any of her rancheras. Most of her fans only became fans after she died and probably think that all she sang were cumbias. Songs like Yo Te Amo and Amame are slammin'. It's also too bad that her father is using her name and fame to get rich. I wish he'd stop because she needs to rest in peace. (And were any of you people that have given 5 stars to this album her fans before she died?)
Disc 2 of Selena's high-ranking "All My Hits" collection.......2002-02-04
The songs here are greater in scope than on the first disc, if not quite as popular. Most have been newly remixed and are superior in sound quality to their originals. A touching gem is the heart-shaped pendant bearing Selena's name, hidden inside the jewel case. A perfect token of appreciation to those of us who will keep Selena's name alive now, and forever.
Beautiful Voice + Beautiful Selena!!!.......2000-08-03
One thing which is always so nice to accompany gorgeous music is a gorgeous album cover. The photo for this was so nice and refreshing to see and showcases Selena at her most gorgeous. It makes her seem as though she is still alive. And beneath the diamond allure of such a gem, lies the precious hidden treasures of her repertoire, though debatably, Selena is such a wonderful artist that every one of her songs will forever be a hit. the album opens up brilliantly with the club mix of Enamorada De Ti. with catchy, snappy yet romantic lyrics, Selena's voice is beautifully showcased in a modern dance club atmosphere. This is sure for American mainstream, with all its Latin newcomers. I always loved latin music- especially Selena- long before it hit in the U.S.- and now, it seems as if it is here to stay- for good. Aside from the song's popular appeal, it is truly enjoyable, as the song is quality from top to bottom. No Quiero Saber, Aunque No Salga El Sol, Yo Fui Aquella, Muñequito De Trapo, Tu Robaste Mi Corazon, Cien Años, and Siempre Hace Frio are my all-time favorites. Her live versions of Bidi Bidi Bom Bom and No Me Queda Mas have more soul than all seven VH1 Divas combined. Who has more magic than her when singing live? Her voice is pure electricity and breathes life into an audience. One of her earlier ballads, from 1990's Ven Conmigo, was Aunque No Salga El Sol- that was always one of my favorite songs. So breathtakingly and sweetly beautiful. Her sad song, Yo Fui Aquella, was eerie and haunting- it has the most devastating lyrics, about her talking to her love of how she always was the one who held him when he needed love, the one who always loved him when he felt so much pain, and now that she needs him she can't find him.. in spanish of course, its much more gorgeous. What can i say about No Quiero Saber. it is a super-infectious cumbia that rivals Amor Prohibido in all its tropical hints and bright melody. That is what a pop song should be. She sings Siempre Hace Frio with the emotion of an old soul with the youth and beauty of a young girl. Muñequito De Trapo is an oldie of Selena when she must have been 14 years old. Rendered in absolutely beautiful vocals and charming ballad remix form, this old gem is restored back to life again. Tu Robaste Mi Corazon is a lilting sylph-like ballad with an enchanting melody- she and Pete Astudillo make this song gorgeous, warm, longing, and heart-felt. Yearning for a loved one has never been conveyed more passionately than in this song. Cien Años is a legendary song forever- though i prefer its emotional mariachi-ballad version on the 1996 tribute "Siempre Selena", this is definitely one of my favorite songs in the world. here, its featured as a peppy tejano number- it doesn't quite retain its old charm, but nevertheless is still a gem to be treasured forever.
