Better Together: The Duet Album is a compilation album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in 1991 by Columbia Records and featured three new songs ("Better Together", "You Brought Me Love", and "Who's Counting Heartaches") alongside eight other pairings that were previously released.
The album spent its one week on Billboard magazine's album chart at number 189 in the issue dated January 11, 1992.
The song "Better Together" (on which he performs with Regina Belle) entered the magazine's Hot R&B Singles chart two months later, in the March 7 issue, and stayed there for five weeks, peaking at number 68.
Bil Carpenter of Allmusic gave the collection a positive review, describing Mathis's 1984 collaboration with Deniece Williams, "Love Won't Let Me Wait", as a "stellar reunion" and his duet with Patti Austin, "You Brought Me Love", as an "unheralded masterpiece".
