What does "compression" like?


Hi,
I often hear the term "compression" used as a negative in audiophile-oriented music reviews, but I don't have a good handle on what it is or what it sounds like.
Enlightenment, please?

compression is necessary to deliver quiet parts with more volume and loud parts with lower volume accordingly.
the recording always have issues with either low level that is comparable with the noise floor or upper level that goes beyond loudspeaker dynamic range.
