Review

Given that Jennifer Lopez's uptempo material tends to work much better than her slower recordings, there would seem to be some potential for an album of remixes of her dance-oriented tracks as more than just a stopgap between regular releases. But J to tha L-O!: The Remixes is a collection of odds and ends. Of course, as usual, the term "remix" is a misnomer; these are versions of Lopez recordings to which other elements have been added, not simply remixes of the existing tracks. The first four rhythmic tracks (which aren't as dance-worthy) are really Lopez-plus-rapping, the next few selections will work well on the dancefloor, starting with the Metro remix of "Walking on Sunshine." Pablo Flores' remix of "Let's Get Loud" is particularly impressive, and Hex Hector's take on "Waiting for Tonight" casts the song as a traditional Hi-NRG workout. The album concludes with a track that isn't a remix, the ballad "Alive" from Lopez's 2002 film Enough. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

J to tha L-O!: The Remixes is the first remix album (third overall) by American singer-songwriter Jennifer Lopez, released in the United States on February 5, 2002 by Epic Records. It was the first remix album to debut at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart,[1] and became one of the best-selling remix albums in the U.S., selling over 156,000 copies during its opening week[2]—appearing in the 2004 Guinness World Records as the most successful remix album[3]—and over one million copies altogether.

The album has also sold over three million copies worldwide,[4] becoming the fourth best-selling remix album of all time, after Michael Jackson's Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, The Beatles' Love, and Madonna's You Can Dance. It spawned three new singles: "Ain't It Funny" (Murder Remix), "I'm Gonna Be Alright" (Track Masters Remix), and "Alive". The Metro Remix of "Walking on Sunshine" received minor airplay in Mexico and other parts of Latin America.
