"Definitivamente es un gran disco de coleccion, el cual le recomiendo a todos aquellos amantes de este genero de musica que es muy bella. La Banda de el Recodo es toda una institucion y creanme que no se arrepentiran... gracias. Juan"
An ill-fitting combination

"Banda El Recodo is a talented group. Juan Gabriel isn't afraid to experiment. One would expect great things from a joint effort. Well, you can tap your toe to it . . . Gabriel's voice just doesn't mesh well with an oomph, oomph, honk, honk stage sound. Even Gabriel signature pieces--"Costumbres," "No me vuelvo a enamorar"--don't hold up in this album. Gabriel's voice sounds clipped, strained. The CD is also no bargain. Gabriel, usually generous in quantity, ends this release after only 33 minutes. With all due respect to all of the people involved in this project the combo just doesn't work very well. People who want to hear REALLY good Gabriel should spend their money on his Palacio de Bellas Artes live performance CDs and videos."
