The album features cover versions of "The Power of Love" and "When I Fall in Love".

After its release, The Colour of My Love received generally mixed reviews from music critics but became a huge commercial success, topping the charts in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and a few other European countries, and reaching the top ten elsewhere, including number four in the United States.
