Reflections of Passion is the first of what has became a near-torrent of "best-of" collections and other repackagings involving Yanni's early work. To avoid confusion when pondering the long list of Yanni "special projects," keep this in mind: Reflections of Passion is the pick of the litter, a handsome distillation of Yanni's most imaginative period, his Out of Silence and Chameleon Days era. This was before saxophones and sopranos and string sections began cluttering what had been one of contemporary instrumental music's most arresting and thoughtfully energized keyboard-powered sounds. Listen to the commanding-yet-nonaggressive bravura of "After the Sunrise" and "The Rain Must Fall" and recall the days when Yanni infused the "new age" genre with a refreshingly brawny sound, a distinctive style that surged as convincingly as it serenaded. The straightforward approach displayed on this superb sampler is a welcome reminder of the evocative sparks Yanni's compositions could strike before he entered his black-velvet and pink-bow phase. Even the disk's three bonus tracks, particularly "Flight of Fantasy," are aglow with the keyboardist's then-unmistakable style of saintly sexuality. Here's hoping future Yanni works don't merely reflect the passion, but recapture it as well. --Terry Wood

 Music To Relax By September 4, 2007
AvidOldiesCollector (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
If you're feeling a little down, and it happens to be a rainy summer night, this is the one you reach for, turn down the lights, lay back, and just relax with over an hour's supremely enjoyable music.
There are no liner notes, and instead of the usual plastic jewel case the disc is in a fold-out paper-backed package. There is a brief note from Yanni dated 1990 which says: "This album represents my life's passion during the past ten years. It is an expression of love for the people in my life, as well as for some very special and inspiring places I can never forget."
Inspiring it most definitely is!

I was surfing through various artists on the amazon site and i came across Yanni,i must admit i had never heard of him ,i played a couple of sample tracks and liked what i heard,and so i sent off for three cd,s of Yanni,it was a good investment,every track is very good,Yanni combines piano with synthasiser,some of his tracks are very relaxing others a bit more lively,i now have six cd,s and two dvd,s ,if you like J.M.Jarre,Kitaro,R.Wakeman,you will love this guy as i do,his music is brilliant.
