Album history

The first single from the album, "Reach" became a hit around the world and was the official theme of the Atlanta 96 Olympics. This album features a more ambient sound than previous Estefan albums, with only two songs: "You'll Be Mine (Party Time)" and "Higher" being up-beat.

The album included a bonus enhanced selection, in which Estefan talks about the album and the song "Reach" in particular. It also features an animated discography of Estefan.

The album ended at #116 on the Billboard Year-End chart and has sold 4.6 million copies to date around the world.
