Throughout the project, she collaborated with Barbra Streisand, the Bee Gees, Luciano Pavarotti, Carole King, George Martin, Diana King, Brownstone, Corey Hart, and her previous producers: David Foster, Ric Wake, Walter Afanasieff, Humberto Gatica, and Jim Steinman.

In addition to the major success of "My Heart Will Go On", other singles included "Tell Him", "Be the Man", "The Reason", "To Love You More", "Immortality", "Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)" and "Treat Her Like a Lady".

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", Bee Gees on "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 on "Treat Her Like a Lady".

Serving as the love theme for the 1997 blockbuster 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.

He wrote that Dion's "super-charged vocals are expectedly potent and often reach for heavens" and praised the restrained Bee Gees' collaboration "Immortality", top forty border-breaking "To Love You More", Carole King/George Martin effort "The Reason", explosive "Us" and the Titanic single "My Heart Will Go On".

He called "Tell Him" an event and wrote that two of pop music's best voices are united on a "grand, wonderfully over-the-top ballad that will melt the heart of even the most jaded listener".

[citation needed] Flick wrote that "My Heart Will Go On" "woos with romantic lyrics and a melancholy melody that is fleshed out with a weeping flute solo."

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 ballads, 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 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.

[9] 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").

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 Gibb brothers' banal "Immortality" (written for the forthcoming London stage production of 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.

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.

[10] 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.

[22] In the United Kingdom, Let's Talk About Love entered the chart at number one and spent five non-consecutive weeks at the top.

In France, Let's Talk About Love spent seven weeks at number one and was certified Diamond in April 1998, selling 1,610,000 units.

[23] Let's Talk About Love topped the charts around the world and was certified Diamond, Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold in many countries.

The first single from Let's Talk About Love, "Tell Him" (duet with Barbra Streisand) premiered on the radio in the United States on 7 October 1997.

In late September 1998, "Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)" entered the Adult Contemporary chart in Canada and peaked at number seventeen there.

"Treat Her Like a Lady" (featuring Diana King and Brownstone) was released as the last single from Let's Talk About Love in selected European countries.

In the United States, Dion started promotion of her new album with the performance of "Let's Talk About Love" on Good Morning America in November 1997.

In November 1997, she performed "Let's Talk About Love", "When I Need You" and "Treat Her Like a Lady" during the Canadian television special, Parlons d'amour.

In June 1998, she appeared on another French television show, Hit Machine and sang "The Reason", "Treat Her Like a Lady" with Diana King, "Immortality" with the Bee Gees and "My Heart Will Go On".

The same month she performed "My Heart Will Go On" and "Immortality" with the Bee Gees on the German television show, Geld Oder Liebe.

At the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, "My Heart Will Go On" won Grammy Award for Record of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television, and Let's Talk About Love was nominated for Best Pop Album.
