After the success of D'eux, which became the best-selling French-language album of all time, music labels around the world issued compilations of Dion's early and less widely available recordings from the 1980s. Following 1995's Gold Vol. 1, another compilation of 14 songs was released in 1997. It appeared in Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America under several titles, including C'est pour vivre, The French Love Album, Les premières années: The Very Best of the Early Years, Mon ami, Les hits de Céline Dion volume 2, and D'amour française. These editions were issued with different covers and by various labels.

Critical reception

Charlotte Dillon of AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, noting that even listeners who do not understand the lyrics can "enjoy the sound and feel the emotions during such notable tunes" as "Je ne veux pas", "En amour", "Ne me plaignez pas", and "Les chemins de ma maison".
