"Artist Collection: Toni Braxton" is Braxton's third compilation of greatest hits, released at the same time "Platinum & Gold Collection" was released, on October 12, 2004, being released specifically for South America. The compilation collects some of Braxton's biggest hits, such as "Love Shoulda Brought You Home", "Breathe Again", "Un-Break My Heart" and "He Wasn't Man Enough", while many other songs are not singles, being found on her last three albums, "The Heat" (such as "The Art of Love"), "Snowflakes" (such as (Snowflakes of Love) and "More Than a Woman" (such as "Lies, Lies, Lies", "Me and My Boyfriend" and others).

Andy Kellman of Allmusic states that the compilation "is an alternative to the more widely available Ultimate Toni Braxton. On the surface, it appears to only be a shortened version of Ultimate Toni Braxton, with four less tracks, but a deeper look reveals a very different compilation. This set is recommendable only if you'd prefer to do without 'Another Sad Love Song,' 'I Love Me Some Him,' 'Hit the Freeway,' 'I Don't Want To,' and another handful of Braxton's U.S. chart hits. A comparison of the two discs does help show how the perception of an artist's best material can differ from territory to territory."[1]
