“…Great music is in short supply, but for Omar Sosa, every recording he does makes it seem like child’s play, and he’s done it yet again with this fantastic album. It’s another feather in his cap that is running out of room for hatband space, and like the others, comes highly recommended” (from AllMusic Review by Michael G. Nastos).
