commends the Megastar
for her “unique ability to turn mush into musical magic - suddenly, “Terminal” is no longer the trite and soppy standard. And our heart goes out to the lonely career woman who is wistfully singing about finding romance at a bus terminal, and passing up on a love that might have been her escape from an empty, arid life. Such is the power of Cuneta’s storytelling gift and emotive ability”.
Buoyed by "Terminal" and fifteen other pop classic remakes, "Isn't It Romantic?" has since achieved 10 x Platinum status and received a Diamond Record Award in recognition of its phenomenal sales.
