What the Critics Say
Twenty-five years after its initial release, Guilty still managed to hold a special place in Barbra Streisand's catalog as one of the best-selling and most beloved records of her massive oeuvre. And with very good reason, as it's also one of her best. Much of this can be attributed her choice in partner; producer and then artist of the moment Barry Gibb. His attention to detail and smooth songwriting were the perfect vehicle to branch Streisand into the disco era further than her duet with Donna Summer on "Enough Is Enough." But conversely, none of these songs is a full-blown disco anthem; they're ballads safe enough for Streisand to keep doing what she does best combined with Gibb's disco-laden songwriting, arrangements, and production that were the hallmark of his softer work with the Bee Gees. Needless to say, the experimentation of the hybrid paid off: "Guilty" went on to win a Grammy, and "What Kind of Fool" and "Woman in Love" were also sizeable hits. This DualDisc edition takes the original classic album and remasters it, along with the DVD side featuring interviews, rare video performances, and a sneak preview of the forthcoming sequel to the album, Guilty Pleasures. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
