Writing a review for Music Week, Selina Webb opined that from " Material Girl" (1985) onwards, "a glossy sheen replaces the do-it-yourself styling and Madonna's evolution from alternative pop bimbo to internationally acclaimed artist is brought into sharp focus", also pointing out that her most recent videos in the collection "demonstrate what can be achieved with huge budgets". [19] Giving the release three out of four stars, Los Angeles Times ' Chris Willman felt that "the imagery in almost all of the dozen clips collected here has already entered the realm of popular fantasy", but pointed out that "yet few of these hold up as great videos", highlighting " Open Your Heart" (1986) as the only "close-to-brilliant" video. [17] The Immaculate Collection eventually won " Best Long Form Video" category at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, in the ceremony held on September 5, 1991.

One thing about Madonna is she always knows how to manipulate the press; the more controversial she is, the more exposure her releases gain. While this song itself is not particualarly controversial, the video that accompanied this certainly was, gaining an X-certificate. Written by Lenny Kravitz and Ingrid Chavez, with additional lyrics courtesy of Madonna, her vocals are primarily spoken and whispered, but almost never sung. A trip hop-influenced song, with mid-tempo settings and an almost hypnotic instrumentation, this is another of Madonna's best, and even though the video contained images of sadomasochism, voyeurism and bi-sexuality and was censored for television screenings, 'Justify My Love' still became a major hit. It also was one of two new songs recorded specifically for this compilation in a bid to enhance sales. a b "Top 20 DVD/Video: Eβδομάδα 9-15/10". IFPI Greece.

Another winning pop-dance confection, its lyrics dealing with the subject of a love that is never quite fulfilled: 'Something in the way you love me won't let me be!/I don't want to be your prisoner, so set me free." Here, Madonna sounds more refined and expressive, living the song's theme and delivering her most convincing performance to date. While the main keyboard work distinctly dates it as a product of its time, its essence still holds up as it's such a fine production. The sweeping synths and piano are complemented by the longing in Madonna's voice, which soars above the instrumental in a suitably subtle way so as not to obscure the song's emotional content. This gave you a clear sign that Madonna was not just a typical pop star; she had something special and unique. a b White, Chris (January 26, 1991). "EEC Pushes Music-Vid Sell-Through" (PDF).
