More than just a video translation of Sarah McLachlan's live best-of album, Mirrorball presents 25 of her best-loved songs along with some DVD-specific extras. "Building a Mystery," "I Love You," "Into the Fire," "Possession," and "Sweet Surrender" are among the songs that benefit from the live setting, enriched by McLachlan's slightly theatrical performance and her muscular yet fluid backing band. The concert looks as good as it sounds, shot on film rather than videotape for a more artistic visual style. Mirrorball also features interviews with McLachlan, a complete discography, photo gallery, and multiple angles on selected songs, elevating it above the average concert DVD and making it a necessity for diehard fans. ---Heather Phares, allmusic
