Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me is the fifth studio solo album and first cover album by Cuban-American singer Gloria Estefan, released in October 1994. It is Estefan’s 17th album overall.

Content

The album features cover versions of songs which had a special meaning to Estefan, including songs from classic artists such as Carole King, Elton John, Neil Sedaka, The Moments, Vicki Sue Robinson, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Classics IV, among others.

Critical reception

Music & Media wrote, "Caramba, coveritis has hit the Estefan estate. For every mood there's a song, but mainly for the late night wine-and-dine atmosphere. 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying' feels like the kind of moonlit drama, the original singers Gerry & The Pace Makers intended it to be. The European bonus track 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me' by you know who, only intensifies the romance which is in the air. Sometimes the tempo goes up like on the Blood, Sweat & Tears song 'You've Made Me So Very Happy.' For the single 'Turn The Beat Around'–an old '70s disco hit by Vicki Sue Robinson–she has even polished her Miami Sound Machine dancing shoes."[4]
