The Remix Album is an album by the English-Canadian girl group All Saints. It was released in 1998, following the success of their eponymous debut album and features remixes of the songs from it, most of which had not been released before. The tracks were mixed together, by DJ Pete Tong, so that they are played continuously without any gaps.

Sunday Mail stated that the album features "laid-back, jazzy rap" with "slightly irregular arrangements", but criticized that "much of this effort is drab" and that the remixes "lose heat as soon as it gets off the starting line", concluding that it "pales next to the studio album".[3] The Evening Mail described the album as "a stop-gap release of the hits" put together by Pete Tong, noting that "this is best enjoyed by the seriously committed fan" and questioning whether it is "an essential Christmas party record or a cynical marketing ploy", concluding that it is "a little of both".[4]
