On November 3, 2006, Sony BMG released for Tsai the compilation album, Favorite, which contains 15 remixes of her songs previously released by Sony, three soundtrack songs—"Angel of Love", "Darkness", and "Sweetie" from Why Me, Sweetie?! (2003), and a live medley "I'm Still Your Lover / Cut Love" from the Taipei show of her J1 World Tour.[1] The album reached number 12 and number five on the weekly album sales charts of G-Music and Five Music in its first week of release, respectively.[14][15]

Critical reception

Tencent Entertainment's Shuwa commented: "After the release of Dancing Diva, Jolin Tsai has completely become a 'darling' in the market. Sony, which had made a lot of profit from the release of the greatest hits album J-Top in May, made a commercial decision on 'live' this time. With the heat of Jolin Tsai's second world tour, this live and remix album was released. It is just a compilation of the classic J1 World Tour and previously unreleased live tracks, as well as a re-release of several old songs that had been included in film's soundtrack, it can be said that the tracks on the album were pieced together. Unfortunately, the label's tricks have long been exhausted, and didn't accepted by the market."[16]
