Arranger: Robbie Kondor. Nora Ephron's charming, good-natured remake of The Shop Around the Corner was the definitive upscale urban romantic comedy of the late '90s (or at least 1998), so it's only appropriate that the accompanying soundtrack fits the film like a glove. A canny mix of familiar oldies, forgotten treasures, new songs, and an excerpt from the score, the album is much like the movie -- entertaining, occasionally supremely engaging (whether it's Stevie Wonder's classic "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," and Randy Newman's "Lonely at the Top," and no less than three Harry Nilsson songs, including a cover by Sinéad O'Connor), but ultimately ephemeral. Not that that's a bad thing -- in fact, You've Got Mail is a very enjoyable listen. For many fans, that may be enough, since it is fun and evokes fond memories of the film. It just doesn't really work as its own entity. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Warner Brothers played a safe bet by reuniting Sleepless in Seattle stars Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks for this film. An even safer bet is the collection of stellar artists that make up the accompanying soundtrack. There's a fair amount of genre-hopping here, from Louis Armstrong's "Dummy Song" to Roy Orbison's evanescent "Dream." Other highlights include The Cranberries' anthemic "Dreams," Randy Newman's sardonic "Lonely at the Top" and Bobby Darin's good timey "Splish Splash." A mixed bag to be sure, but a consistently enjoyable one, whether you're familiar with the movie or not.Entertainment Weekly (1/8/99, p.67) - "...Some nifty tracks, but as a DJ mix, it makes more sense on screen." - Rating: B You've Got Mail Soundtrack Music | List Price | $7.98 (You save $1.89) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Soundtrack CDs | | Label | Atlantic | | Orig Year | 1998 | | All Time Sales Rank | 4757  | | CD Universe Part number | 1097845 | | Catalog number | 83153 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Dec 01, 1998 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Additional Info | Original Soundtrack |

GOES SUPERBLY WITH THE FILM!! I remember getting this soundtrack before I even saw the movie. When I brought it I brought it for track 2 (Dreams-The Cranberries) But I got alot more great tracks than that with it. This cd is a dream. It's a dream for a person who likes great "oldies" as well as some of today's great hits and thats what makes it really click for me. Submitted by slicks00 (Philadelphia, PA) Was This Review Helpful?
