The Collector's Series, Volume One

The album includes "The Power of the Dream" from the opening ceremony of the 1996 Summer Olympics and songs in French, Spanish, and Japanese. It also contains singles that were not included on Dion's previous greatest hits album, All the Way... A Decade of Song: "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", "Only One Road", "Falling into You", "Tell Him", and "The Reason".

Tout en amour was also released in France as a limited edition, including 12 colour postcards with previously unreleased photos of Dion. The album was reissued in October 2004 in select European countries as part of the Best of the Best Gold series. The gold-disc pressing was housed in a die-cut slipcase, exposing the gold disc, and included the same tracks as the standard edition.

According to Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, The Collector's Series, Volume One filled the gaps left by Dion's hits collection All the Way... A Decade of Song, including duets, French and Spanish recordings, and tracks previously unavailable in the United States. He questioned why the album was not composed solely of rarities, which he felt would have served the release better than what he described as a "mixed bag".^[1]
