The album contains remixes of tracks from her first four studio albums—La Chica Dorada (1992), 24 Kilates (1993), El Tiempo Es Oro (1995) and Planeta Paulina (1996)—and a new remix of her "Megahits". The remixes were done by NPS, Alejandro "Midi" Ortega, and Mijangos. The music was influenced by various genres of club music, such as dance and house.
Paulina Remixes received positive reviews from music critics. Some reviewers called it a good remix compilation.[citation needed]
Release
Paulina Remixes received little promotion compared to Rubio's standards. On November 30, 2006, her first remix album was released through digital stores like Amazon and ITunes Store.[2] Fans were excited because it was a novelty and Paulina Rubio's website put it up for sale. On January 16, 2007 Paulina Remixes was launched in digital format in Mexico and the United States.
Critical reception
Paulina Remixes received positive reviews from music critics. Joey Guerra from Amazon wrote that "It's been more than a decade since Paulina Rubio left her golden-girl image at EMI Latin for a more liberating run at Universal Music. But her former label continues to mine Rubio's catalog for hits packages, rehashes and rarities. Most of the recent releases have been forgettable repeats, but Paulina Remixes assembles an impressive collection of often-impossible-to-find versions of Rubio's early hits. "Te Daría Mi Vida," "Nada de Ti" and "Siempre Tuya desde la Raíz" still sparkle in their dance-floor dress; and the Mijangos remixes of "Enamorada" (featured here in the English-language "I'm So in Love" version) remains a deliciously dramatic glitterball high. Paulina Remixes even includes amped-up mixes of "Él Me Engañó," "Sabor A Miel" and "Asunto De Dos" - unlikely choices that benefitted from a DJ's touch. Musically, Rubio may be long past these sparkly gems, but they remain essential for fans and club-bunnies alike."[3]
