More information Review scores, Source ...

Unlike the North American edition of her previous singles compilation, Whitney: The Greatest Hits, the upbeat and dance-oriented songs — with the exception of "I'm Your Baby Tonight" — are not remixed and contain the original version of those songs (although a few of the songs appear here as their radio / single edits). The Ultimate Collection was not released in North American territories.
