The compilation received a favorable review of Allmusic who praised it for being a nice change of pace and praised Hex Hector's remixes.

Background and content

"Un-Break My Heart: The Remix Collection" is Braxton's first remix album, being released on April 12, 2005, in the United States by Sony BMG Music Entertainment. It was released on March 31, 2005 on iTunes. The album includes remixes only from "Secrets" (1996) and "The Heat" (2000).

Hex Hector remixed the songs "Spanish Guitar", "Maybe" and "Hit the Freeway", while Frankie Knuckles provided remixes for "I Don't Want To" and "Un-Break My Heart". David Morales remixed "You're Makin' Me High", while Junior Vasquez providing a remix for "He Wasn't Man Enough".

Critical reception

Andy Kellman of Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, writing that, "'Un-Break My Heart: The Remix Collection' is a nice change of pace from the typical patched-together cash-in compilation of remixes," praising Hex Hector for "allowing enough room for the bulk of each track to play, rather than showing off quick-wristed skills that would likely knock the wind out of the selections." Kellman picked "the 'HQ2' mix of 'Hit the Freeway,' Frankie Knuckles mix of 'Un-Break My Heart,' and Peter Rauhofer's mix of 'He Wasn't Man Enough' as the highlights."
