Love, Whitney

Love, Whitney is a compilation of ballads by Whitney Houston, released in 2001. It was the follow-up to Houston's multi-platinum greatest hits collection Whitney: The Greatest Hits (2000). Unlike a traditional greatest-hits album, this release focuses specifically on Houston's love songs, drawing material from her studio albums recorded between 1985 and 1998. The collection features sixteen tracks, including several of her best-known romantic ballads alongside a few lesser-known selections such as "Why Does It Hurt So Bad", "Miracle", and "For the Love of You".

The album was issued by Arista Records during a period of renewed commercial focus on Houston's back catalogue, following her signing of a long-term contract with the label. It was marketed primarily to casual listeners and international audiences, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it served as a complementary release to her earlier compilation. The collection highlights Houston's signature vocal style and her dominance of the adult contemporary and pop charts throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. The album includes ten U.S. top 10 hits.

Critical response to Love, Whitney was mixed. Reviewers generally praised the album's selection of Whitney Houston’s most powerful love songs and its smooth, cohesive presentation, but several noted that it offered little new material for longtime fans. Critics such as Jose F. Promis of AllMusic described it as a pleasant listening experience aimed mainly at casual listeners, while others, like the reviewer from Cane France, viewed it as a commercially motivated release following her greatest hits collection. Overall, the compilation was seen as a showcase of Houston's vocal talent rather than a significant addition to her discography.
