Jose F. Promis of AllMusic gave '' The Collection 1982 – 1988 '' two and a half out of five stars and wrote that this album collects most of Dion 's essential recordings from her pre-superstar years , when she was a very young French singer , popular in Canada and France . Promis noted the heavily synthesized Europop of the 1988 Eurovision contest winner " Ne partez pas sans moi " , which was the song that introduced Dion to international audiences , and is a milestone in her career . According to him , many of the songs on this set are fair , and differ from the processed teen pop of the late 1990s because of the ever-present sincerity in Dion 's voice . Highlights include the elegant ballads " Tellement j' ai d'amour pour toi " , " Benjamin " , and " La voix du bon Dieu " , the shimmering " Avec toi " and " Du soleil au cœur ; " and the anthemic " C'est pour vivre " . Other songs almost make the mark , such as the dramatic " La religieuse " , but are marred by sometimes bizarre production , and , in this case , a truly off-putting bridge . Others are sing-song , nursery rhyme-type material , especially " Hymne à l'amitié " and the incredibly 1980s sounding " Hello Mister Sam "
