It became one of the best-selling albums of 1997 and 1998 in various countries, and also one of the top-selling albums of the [[1990s in music|decade]]. It was [[Music recording certification|certified]] diamond, multi-platinum, platinum and gold around the world. Various [[Single (music)|single]]s were released, depending on the country. In addition to the major success of "My Heart Will Go On", other singles included "Tell Him", "[[Be the Man]]", "[[The Reason (Celine Dion song)|The Reason]]", "[[To Love You More]]", "[[Immortality (Celine Dion song)|Immortality]]", "[[Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)]]" and "[[Treat Her Like a Lady (Diana King song)|Treat Her Like a Lady]]".

== Conception and composition ==
The follow-up to her successful album ''[[Falling into You]]'' (1996), ''Let's Talk About Love'' was recorded in London, New York, and Los Angeles, and featured a host of special guests: [[Barbra Streisand]] on "[[Tell Him (Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion song)|Tell Him]]", [[Bee Gees]] on "[[Immortality (Celine Dion song)|Immortality]]", Italian operatic tenor [[Luciano Pavarotti]] on "I Hate You Then I Love You", and Jamaican reggae singer [[Diana King]] and American R&B group [[Brownstone (group)|Brownstone]] on "[[Treat Her Like a Lady (Diana King song)|Treat Her Like a Lady]]". "[[The Reason (Celine Dion song)|The Reason]]" was co-written by [[Carole King]] and produced by [[George Martin]], who produced nearly all of [[The Beatles]]' recordings. The most successful single from the album became the classically influenced ballad "[[My Heart Will Go On]]", which was written by [[James Horner]] and [[Will Jennings]]. Serving as the love theme for the 1997 blockbuster film ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'', "My Heart Will Go On" topped the charts around the world, and has become Dion's signature song.

Tracks on ''Let's Talk About Love'' were produced mainly by [[David Foster]], [[Ric Wake]], [[Walter Afanasieff]], [[Humberto Gatica]] and [[Corey Hart (singer)|Corey Hart]]. ''Let's Talk About Love'' includes [[cover song]]s such as [[Leo Sayer]]'s "[[When I Need You#Celine Dion version|When I Need You]]" and [[Mina (Italian singer)|Mina]]'s "[[Grande grande grande]]" (recorded as an English-language duet titled "I Hate You Then I Love You"). [[Sony Music Entertainment]] issued few different editions of ''Let's Talk About Love'' around the world. Aside from the main thirteen tracks, "[[To Love You More]]" was included on the US and Latin America editions, "[[Be the Man]]" on the European, Australian and Asian editions, "Amar Haciendo el Amor" outside the US and "Where Is the Love" outside Latin America.

''Let's Talk About Love'' received mixed reviews from music critics. ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' editor Paul Verna gave it a positive review. He wrote that Dion's "super-charged vocals are expectedly potent and often reach for heavens" and praised "[[Immortality (Celine Dion song)|Immortality]]", "To Love You More", "[[The Reason (Celine Dion song)|The Reason]]", "Us" and "[[My Heart Will Go On]]". Larry Flick, also from ''Billboard'', wrote positively about "My Heart Will Go On", saying that Dion "has the ability to pack volumes of emotion in a whisper" and that the single "will add a much-needed touch of class to every [radio] station it graces."<ref>{{Cite magazine|last=Flick|first=Larry|title=Reviews & Previews: Singles|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=6 December 1997|page=85|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_4AkEAAAAMBAJ/page/n83/mode/2up|access-date=25 October 2023}}</ref>

Senior editor of [[AllMusic]] [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] gave ''Let's Talk About Love'' four stars out of five. He noted that ''[[Falling into You]]'' established Dion as a superstar in America, so its sequel, ''Let's Talk About Love'', was designed to consolidate her position as a newly minted star. The album was constructed as a blockbuster, featuring Dion's trademark melodramatic [[ballad]]s, some carefully tailored [[dance-pop]], a bevy of duets with the likes of [[Barbra Streisand]] and the Bee Gees, and production and songs from [[Adult contemporary music|adult contemporary]] gurus [[David Foster]], [[Jim Steinman]], and [[Walter Afanasieff]]. According to Erlewine, given that so many talented craftsmen worked on ''Let's Talk About Love'', it makes sense that a number of the cuts succeed according to adult contemporary terms—they are predictably sweeping showcases for Dion's soaring, technically skilled voice. As usual, the singles (including the Streisand duet "Tell Him" and the ''Titanic'' love theme "My Heart Will Go On") shine the most brilliantly, but even the filler is immaculately produced. Erlewine ended his review saying that if the result doesn't quite gel as an album, that shouldn't be surprising—this is music by committee, a product that was made to appeal to the widest possible audience. Such a calculated execution guarantees that anyone who liked one of the singles shouldn't be disappointed by ''Let's Talk About Love'', but it doesn't necessarily mean they will remember all of the record after it has finished playing.<ref>{{cite web|last=Erlewine |first=Stephen Thomas |url={{AllMusic|class=album |id=r328599 |pure_url=yes}} |title=Let's Talk About Love - Celine Dion |website=[[AllMusic]] |date=18 November 1997 |access-date=18 August 2012}}</ref>

[[David Browne (journalist)|David Browne]] from ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' gave the album a grade of C. He wrote that aiming for the widest possible audience, ''Let's Talk About Love'' is top-heavy with renowned duet partners (Barbra Streisand, the Bee Gees, Luciano Pavarotti), proven middle-of-the-road producers (Walter Afanasieff, David Foster, Jim Steinman), and an obligatory remake (a precisely enunciated version of [[Leo Sayer]]'s "[[When I Need You]]"). According to him, most of the album is composed of the heavy-hearted ballads that have made Dion a star, but for added crossover appeal, it also includes a beat-by-numbers dance track ("Just a Little Bit of Love") and an overarranged stab at reggae [[dancehall]] (the unintentionally amusing "Treat Her Like a Lady"). And to cement the music-film bond, it even features a movie theme (for the similarly epic ''Titanic''). Browne noted that just as recent big-budget summer movies have piled on special effects at the expense of plausible story lines, ''Let's Talk About Love'' forgets that a pop album, no matter the budget, needs solid songs. He felt that most of the songs here, from the [[Bee Gees|Gibb brothers]]' banal "Immortality" (written for the forthcoming London stage production of ''[[Saturday Night Fever (musical)|Saturday Night Fever]]'') to the air balloon "My Heart Will Go On" (love theme from ''Titanic''), are flimsy concoctions that droop under the weight of their arrangements. He added that Streisand glides like butter into the duet ''Tell Him''—making Dion sound like margarine in the process—but the song is an Uberschlock ode to subservience. Browne finished the review saying that Dion gives it her all, sounding hurt or empowered as each number demands, but her voice has so little personality that it too is lost amid the ornateness.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/1997/11/21/celine-dion-and-michael-bolton-yawn/|title=White Noise|last=Browne|first=David|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=21 November 1997|access-date=1 July 2012|archive-date=19 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140319221118/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,290337,00.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Elysa Gardner of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' gave the album two out of four stars saying that Dion's voice is a technical marvel, but her delivery lacks the personality and intuitive sense of drama that are a diva's stock in trade.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-nov-20-ca-55636-story.html|title=You're making your list and we've made ours: tons of ideas for presents--even for those hardest to please. : From Elton to Boyz to Celine to Dylan, It's an Album Bull Market|last=Gardner|first=Elysa|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=20 November 1997|access-date=1 April 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| last = Brackett  | first = Nathan |author2=Christian Hoard |title = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | publisher = Simon and Schuster | year = 2004 | location = New York City, New York | page = [https://archive.org/details/newrollingstonea00brac/page/241 241] | isbn = 0-7432-0169-8 | url = https://archive.org/details/newrollingstonea00brac  | url-access = registration  | quote = rolling stone celine dion album guide.  | access-date = 18 August 2012}}</ref> A negative review came from Jonathan Bernstein of ''[[The New York Observer]]''.

== Impact and legacy ==
''[[Entertainment Tonight Canada|Et Canada]]'' listed four of Dion's albums, including ''Let's Talk About Love'', in their list of top ten Canadian music albums of all time.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Globalnews.ca|first=Chris Jancelewicz, Globalnews ca and Katie Scott|date=1 May 2018|title=The Top 10 Canadian Music Albums Of All Time|url=https://etcanada.com/news/323568/the-top-10-canadian-music-albums-of-all-time-based-on-sales/|access-date=21 June 2021|website=ET Canada|language=en-US|archive-date=24 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624201000/https://etcanada.com/news/323568/the-top-10-canadian-music-albums-of-all-time-based-on-sales/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The album solidified Celine Dion's status as a global pop icon, particularly following the unprecedented success of its lead single, "My Heart Will Go On", which became her signature song.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Levin|first=Jordan|title=Celine Dion: The Power of a Voice|newspaper=The Miami Herald|date=22 August 2008|url=https://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/article1923787.html}}</ref> The album is widely regarded as one of the best-selling English-language records by a Canadian artist, having sold over 31 million copies worldwide.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Celine Dion's Top 10 Albums Worldwide|website=CelineDionCharts.com|url=https://www.celinedioncharts.com/albums/top10}}</ref>

The album played a key role in popularizing adult contemporary ballads in the late 1990s and helped bridge mainstream pop with operatic and cinematic influences, especially through high-profile collaborations with artists such as Barbra Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti, and Carole King.<ref>{{Cite book|last=McIntosh|first=Andrew|title=Global Pop, Local Language|publisher=University Press of Mississippi|year=2003|isbn=9781578065812}}</ref> Its influence extended beyond the charts, inspiring a generation of pop vocalists who cited Dion’s vocal technique and emotional delivery as major inspirations.

In retrospective discussions, ''Let's Talk About Love'' has been both praised and critiqued for epitomizing the excesses of late-'90s pop production. Nevertheless, the album’s enduring cultural footprint—particularly due to the association with the film ''Titanic''—has ensured its place in pop history.<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=Albums that Defined the 1990s|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=1 December 2020|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/90s-albums-best-1234567}}</ref>
