The Corrs released their second compilation album, ''Dreams: The Ultimate Corrs Collection'', on 20 November 2006. The album consisted of several of the band's hits, as well as tracks that had not previously been released on Corrs albums, such as "I Know My Love", a collaboration with The Chieftains and "All I Have to Do Is Dream", Andrea's duet with Laurent Voulzy. The album also featured remixes of "When the Stars Go Blue" and "Goodbye". The latter was released as a download-only single to promote the album. However, the album charted poorly, reaching number 24 in Ireland.<ref name="worldcharts"/> On 25 September 2007, the Corrs released another compilation album, ''The Works''.

== Musical style and influences == When asked to describe their genre, Caroline Corr said it was a "blend of modern rhythms and technology with acoustic instruments, violin, tin whistle, drums and of course the voices, the marrying of these instruments is our sound".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theworldly.org/ArticlesPages/Articles2004/October04Articles/Music-TheCorrsBorrowed.html |title=The Corrs – Borrowed Heaven |publisher=TheWorldly.org |author=Luk, Vivien |access-date=24 February 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509103940/http://www.theworldly.org/ArticlesPages/Articles2004/October04Articles/Music-TheCorrsBorrowed.html |archive-date=9 May 2008 }}</ref> The Corrs' music is typically categorised as a mixture of pop rock and folk rock. This is evident in their first two albums, ''Forgiven, Not Forgotten'' and ''Talk on Corners'', although Andrea described the genre of ''Talk on Corners'' by saying "it [has] got more of an edgy feel, a little bit more guitar-orientated and also an Irish sound, which is in ''Forgiven, Not Forgotten''."<ref name="CNN">{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Music/9807/28/corrs/index.html|title= CNN – 'Talk on Corners' reveals Irish band The Corrs|publisher=CNN|date= 28 July 1998|access-date=1 November 2007}}</ref>

''In Blue'' moved towards mainstream pop, placing heavy emphasis on synthesizers.<ref name="Hastings"/> The move attracted criticism from many; one ''Entertainment Weekly'' critic called it "a disheartening example of musical ethnic cleansing".<ref name="Hastings"/> A ''USA Today'' critic called it "the best mainstream pop album you're likely to come across".<ref name="Main Frame">{{cite web|url=http://www.thecorrswebsite.com/band02.htm |title=The Corrs |author=Egan, Barry |publisher=Ireland's Sunday Independent |access-date=24 February 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071117130550/http://www.thecorrswebsite.com/band02.htm |archive-date=17 November 2007 }}</ref>

''Borrowed Heaven'' placed heavier emphasis on guitars, while retaining the original folk rock genre.<ref name="Laura"/> ''Home'' is a traditional Irish album, where the band covered many traditional Irish songs.<ref name="Fingal"/> The album contained songs from different eras of Irish music, including a 1982 song written by Phil Lynott ("Old Town")<ref name="Rhino"/> while the 1,000-year-old "Return to Fingal" featured as a bonus track on the Japanese, limited German and Spanish editions. ''White Light'' returned to a similar sound to ''In Blue'', with much more electronic-based instrumentation, while ''Jupiter Calling'' is characterised as a more stripped back live performance with minimal overdubbing.

The Corrs' main influences were their parents, who were both musicians<ref name="Showbiz">{{cite news|url=http://edition.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Music/9903/22/corrs.wb/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110522074454/http://edition.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Music/9903/22/corrs.wb/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 May 2011|title=Irish siblings take Britain, world by storm|author=Alexander, Brooke|publisher=CNN|date= 22 March 1999|access-date=24 February 2008}}</ref> and encouraged them to learn instruments. They drew inspiration from musicians such as The Eagles, The Police, The Carpenters, Simon and Garfunkel and Fleetwood Mac,<ref name="Main Frame"/> which Sharon said in an interview with CNN is the reason "our songs are very, very melodic and [harmonious]".<ref name="Showbiz"/>
