I am a huge Streisand fan but as usual what the majority of the public really likes I found "ok". But! there are a few gems that I really thought were quite good. "It Had To Be You" I thought was quite good. "I Still Can See Your Face" was haunting. "How Deep Is The Ocean" was so sad I wanted to go and hug my mother. I really like the intro To "What Kind Of Fool" and last was "Love Me Tender" which also had a terrific intro and I thought sentimental for the King.

What happened to Neil Diamond, You Don't Bring Me Flowers???

...and the best I've heard in a decade. I want to swaddle myself in "How Deep Is the Ocean." Each one of these song and duet choices were excellent. I can't rave enough about it. Barbara's done it again!

Ouch ouch ouch.

The best!!!

I like Barbra with the orchestra and sweeping lyrics and high notes. This almost sounds like MUZAC elevator arrangments. I don't understand why multi millionare artists with multi decade careers feel like they have to keep pushing out average records. She had admitted, she doesn't even really like to sing all that much, and it kinda shows on this record. She probably has this ridiculous fear of going broke or something. Can't see any sparkle in this at all.

I must first say that I'm a little bias. I HATE Barbara Streisand with a passion! I figured I'd give this a listen to see why it is all of her albums go to #1... I don't get it. I'm sorry, I tried. I think many of these songs would have been great, without her vocals. I especially liked the John Mayer track, but had to turn it off in order to tune out Streisand's voice. I would rather shove ice pics into my ears than have to listen to another Streisand tune!

While she may be a total Diva, she has picked her most iconic songs and reimagined them completely and beautifully with some of this century's vocal giants. Just wish she had been willing to include some female partners as well. Alicia Keys, Sarah Brightman....could have been even better. Nothing wrong with gilding the lily.

True to form Streisand has made another great album. Yes they are old songs but I love the new artist duet twist. Great job Barbara! Your one of my old time favorites! ❤️

Thank you Babs. I REALLY needed this! 👍

Babs voice sounds better then it has on past couple of albums. Nice concept, follow-up album should be Partners - The Females

Barbra hasn't sound so good since the early 2000's, it seems that being in the company of "A" list artists makes her work harder in achieving perfection, and it is welcomed in this album. Some of the Ad lib in some songs may appear forced, but the album as a whole is cohesive and entertaining. We can thank Babyface and Walter Afanasief for producing a great album.

Congratulations on this one! Loved the work and the richness of your voices. I keep being surprised, and I have been a fan of yours... so was my Uncle Ray( in the UK). Thank you for reminding me all over again, that a true standard song.... is anything but that, when it’s being sung by you, Barbra.

This is amazing. Maybe her best album yet. You’ve still got it girl. You are one in a 100 million. Thanks for this beautiful gift.

Why not a duet with Placido Domingo, Marc Anthony, , Luis Miguel or Alejandro Fernandez? Why no Latino stars were invited in your duet album, when we are the biggest minority. I am very disappointed of your exclusion.

❤️

I have listened to her voice since I was in my early teens. Even when I listen to her music repeatedly I sense it differently from time to time. I do not know of any other singer with the depth, range of styles, and intelligence - her age or other - that can command a song the way she does. She is so phenomenally a talent, and I am so glad that I am alive and able to see her in concert(s), listen to her music, read about her politics, watch her movies. This album is really good! On some songs, I am in thrall of her voice again and again. Very few singers nowadays have even a smidgen of her talent. I hope she lives a longer and healthy life...and records more!

wouldn't love Barbra?

Babs has picked a talented line-up of guys to perform some of your favorites. All the tracks are good but the standout tracks are Andrea Bocelli, Billy Joel, John Mayer, and her son, Jason Gould! A great addition to a Streisand collection

It is unfortunate I purchased any of her CDs. I used to like her when she first started ; now I find all her songs annoying especially when over the past two decades she attempts to dictate her political hypocrite views on the public.

20-30 years ago, the line would have been great. She was good singer. Today, her vocals pale in comparison to the other singers. She chose great singers, but again her vocals are so weak that she speaks her songs. She does not sing her songs. When she is singing, it does not resonate well. Why did she not come out 10-15 years ago. Why now? Anyone over 55 years old, their vocal chords (i.e. muscles are weaker). I forget her age, but she is definitely older than 60 (if I had to guess over 70). Looks great, but vocal abilities are not so good. I love Barbara's old songs. Not this album. Sorry B.S.

BARB you are amazing. I LOVE THIS ALBUM

This musica rendition represents the best of a group of artists who have been very successful in their careears. For our delight Barbra once again struck the right cords because she is the best of the best; however, her partners compliment the effort and represent these group exemplary because they are among the best the music business. The rendition with Michael Buble is greatbut also Billy Joel and Barbra in"New Your State of Mind" Long live all of them and keep producing the magnificent music you all are doing. Thank you

It's a journey it's not an album And I enjoyed every second of it❤️

Wonderfully lush album of classic music sung by some of favorite recording artist. Thank you Barbara Streisand .

Barbra sounds as wonderful as ever but I'm not fond of lot of the partners she chose and was very disappointed that she chose so many of the songs she's already done solo. They can't be beat. I hope that she's still has a few more good albums in her and preferably not duets.

Once in a blue moon, along comes a MASTERPIECE! In an age of homogenized music, Partners reminds us what it feels like to be moved by beautifully, thoughtfully, crafted music. It’s a pleasure to hear music that pulls you in and asks you to really experience it. This collection is intimate and inspiring.

Absolutely wonderful

I was looking forward to the duet album of Tony Bennet with Lady GaGa...but was disappointed with it because GaGa can't do duets... if you listen to the interview that Barbra does with Katie Kouric, she says that "women want to do their own thing", and that's why she prefers to work with men... too true!

Ohhhh my is it bad if I live in Miami but I'm in a New York State of mind? Good god Barbara you did it again and you do not fail to please ears all around the world.

Absolutely magnificent! Had to entire album!! I have loved Barbra since I was young. She looks just as fab as ever!

Brava Barbra Brava... And your duet w/ Jason ... OMG ... Who knew? You evidently... Brava + Bravo (Barbra + Jason) ... Perfection personified!!!

These songs, these artists ... are classic treasures. It's simply beautiful music!!!

Her and John Mayer sounded amazing!!!

I’ve been hoping Barbra, one of my all time favorite singers, would record a new album —and much to my delight here it is! It’s hard to record old hits in a new way but I have to say adding ‘Partners’ was a brilliant idea. It’s not simply a new recording of Barbra's old stuff—adding Partners makes it a whole new song! Now I can enjoy Barbra (and friends) 'then and now’ and savor the evolution of this great singers career. Thank you Barbra, thank you Columbia!

I grew up a Ms Streisand fan. She will be with me until eternity. The greatest of them all. Another album in my collection. Great music. Timeless!

After all these years a true artist! This is talent

Can you release the bonus tracks?

I never get tired of her classics as the years go by I enjoy them more and more...

Tired songs nasally belted out in the most pedantic and predictable way. This laughable slops only stands on Barbara's inexplicable "star" power which is not enough.

I love everything she does.

Love Barbara always have always will! A musical icon! I purchased CD via ITunes, But is there an audio book?

A fan of hers since the 70's, she is at her best alone as are the other artists. Class and styles aren't mixing as well as I anticipated.

One of my favorite Streisand albums in the Duet Genre Barbara Streisand Created because she has a Once in an Eternity Voice and she knows talent and whether it is Partners or Duets her voice is magical and the pairings bring back so many memories of times Past and Good Times. Thank You Barbara and thank you for the kind letter you sent to my mom many years ago. Barbara give us more of the early voice any recordings not published yet or whatever you want. I have every CD and I want more.

Most of the songs are enjoyable. I did not like the arrangement on The Way We Were. It's almost unrecognizable. I also didn't like Somewhere for the same reason. I missed Barry Gibb on What Kind of Fool. I think Barbra can still out sing pretty much anyone. Her voice and her partners on the CD are great. But many songs are very different than the originals. It takes some getting used to.

not worth adding to my collection

First, iTunes needs to change it’s “star” system. It’s the same one that Amazon has in which you click 3 stars and it says, “It’s OK.” That is NOT my opinion about this album. I chose 3 stars because I honestly do not believe this album is as good as it could have been. It’s hard to know what exactly went wrong, but only the second half of Barbra’s new album works, starting with “The Way We Were.” That was the first cut I could tolerate. I am a pianist and a musical director. I listened to it with one my of singer friends, a woman with a glorious voice who is in high demand. We are both Barbra fans. We could hardly wait to sit down and listen. And then it started. We actually laughed out loud. I thought, “Barbra, darling, really? This is what you wanted to do? You wanted to ‘reinterpret’ and ‘cover’ your own songs… the ones that you sang definitive versions of?” I simply could not listen to her butcher “People” — Stevie Wonder, yes, he is still a wonder, and he applied his magic to it, but I do not think it made it better and I do not think Barbra made it better. I am not interested in “Barbra-lite” — and despite the fact that, at 72, she often sounds fantastic, she is also often scratchy, sometimes not exactly on the note, sometimes a little heavy-handed in her approach, so she sounds like she’s about to go Ethel Merman on the song , and in one moment we could not believe, it sounded like her voice cracked. I’m sorry, as fantastic as she is, I believe she could have easily chose an album of new songs to wow her faithful fans. She did not need to “revisit” masterpieces… masterpieces that she was responsible for creating. Barbra, honey, did you ever hear the phrase, “You can’t go home again”? This album is a clear example that she has not. I honestly don’t know what she was thinking. “I Can Still See Your Face” (with Andrea Bocelli) was the first song on the album where we both said, “Wow. That was good.” She really got us on that one and I was back to being a fan. And her duet with her son is perfect. But when she sings “New York State of Mind” with Billy Joel (who sounds so much better than she does), and at the end of the song, he first suggests going out for pizza, and then going out for Chinese, and she says “Even bet-tah…” — the way she says the word “better” — making sure we hear each “t” separately — I wanted to slap her. It sounded forced, fake, overdone… it was awful. We decided that “Evergreen” with Babyface sounded like something people would have done at a cabaret club… meaning sung by people who were not famous, and probably on amateur night. It was very “background music-ish”. It bored me to tears. And so, the album is a mixed bag at best. And I wish, I wish, I wish, that someone could tell Barbra to cut her hair (she looks like some Bohemian grandmother) and to please, please wear SOMETHING other than black and white. She looks like she just stepped off the set of “THE ADDAMS FAMILY “ and thought “Why should I change my costume? Worked for the ADDAMS FAMILY, it will work for my album cover, as well!” Last, Barbra’’s voice is often mixed slightly (or blatantly) HIGHER than her male counterpart. She also has an annoying habit of singing over anyone else, with cutesy “hums.” She did shut up for the first part of “How Deep Is The Ocean” — thank God, as this enabled to hear the beauty of Jason Gould’s singing voice. I love Barbra, I just think that many cuts on this album were questionable. Otherwise, I hope she continues to live in good health and consult someone who will tell her “the truth” she really needs to hear before embarking on a new project.

I love debut albums... You get more than just one artist on an album."You get the best of both worlds "

iTunes where is the song "Lost Inside Of You" with Babyface & Barbra Streisand

What a great album! I love the remake of classic songs as duets and I especially loved my introduction to this album. Babs appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and THEY did a duet. Jimmy has a pretty good singing voice and Barbra was a really good sport as Jimmy sang the songs in place of Elvis and Blake. I’m looking forward to her next “Partners”album. What GREAT music!

J’écoute ce CD à tous les jours... Tous les albums de Barbra sont extraordinairement bons .. Elle est la meilleure chanteuse au monde avec une voix puissante et vraiment très belle!! Bravo et merci....

My mother is so very ill (cancer) and my Dad needs a soft touch and something to warm his heart. This will a gift to him... He has loved your songs forever ... And made me love them too. My time to reciprocate Daughter to Father ! Thank you for always going one more step in your craft xx 👸 you are the Queen

Wow bravo ,çs un album formidable

Thank You Barbara and fellow Artist...my husband and I have been listening over and over again...I love love love your music. RARA

WOW she melts me like buttah, the best yet that she has done. Her collaboration with Stevie on “People” and “Love Me Tender” with Elvis - I don’t think anyone can do better than this. I wish she would re-do a solo version of “New York State of Mind”. Billy Joel’s screaming just don’t cut it or me, Lionel Richie on “The Way We were” kind of ruin that song for me as well. But Barbra’s singing just echo through every song with such conviction that shows how much she has lived through her singing and willing to share and let other people open her favourite songs for her. Brava Barbra!

Gold in my books! Always a delight to hear Streisand and her phenomenal voice. I especially enjoy the recreation of her former songs as duets. Delightful artistry.

Superb album. Love choice of partners. Will listen to this album forever.

Another great one from the one and only Babs! I loved it.

Thank you so much for a truly lovely album, Barbra and "partners" - you are simply the best!

Your are amazing. Never stop. Pure music. I listened to Papa can you hear me .... I hope he can. You are a mensch!
