"If you are a LuisMi fan than you will probably like this CD; if not than you will probably bash it and say it is no good. Somewhere in between lies the real answear. Is it good? Yes. Is it great? No. Is it better than most of the romantic pop Latin music out there ? Yes. You must understand that LuisMi employs the best people to produce his music and the results are top notch productions. First of, it was nice last summer to see a release from him where romance wasn't in the title. I bought it up thinking he's moved on; after listening to the opening track, "Un Te Amo' I quickly realized the formula was still being used. It is a departure of sorts but a full circle anology might make more sense. This is the closest CD that he has released that has the pop luster of his wonderful disc entitled "Aries." This is clearly evident on the second track entitled "Con tus Besos" where the uptempo pop stylings of "Aries" come through like a flashback. About half of the songs are in the pop vein and the rest are more "Romances " like tunes. Some of the songs are just too gushy. Also some of them lament a lost love way too much which is an ongoing theme running throughout this disc. Don't get me wrong the lyrics to the boleros are by and large quite poetic and beautiful but some are just too sappy. On "Ahorra Que Te Vas" where he states "si algun dia te vas al mar recuerdate de mi" (if someday you go to the ocean remember me) everything is fine until the syruppy lyrics go on to say later "llorandote en mi almohada pienso en ti"(crying over you on my pillow thinking of you). Come on!! Crying on your pilow? Was he biting it too? Was he on his stomach and kicking his feet too? Guys don't cry in bed over women. None that I know anyway. Sorry ladies even LuisMi wouldn't do that. Anyway this is the type of corniness that goes way beyond the sesitive male and makes for a drippy song. Back to the good stuff though. The popish formula of songs like "Vuelve, " Eres " and "Con Tus Besos" are uplifting , in spite of their melancholy theme, with their fine chorus and strong arrangements that gets you going with their lush jazzy and orchestral backing. Overall this is not his best by his standards but pretty darn good anyway. A three star LuisMi disc is a four star disc for most other artists in this genre. If you are a die hard fan get it, otherwise try "Aries" or one of the gazillion "Romances" discs to see if this is for you."

"Para aquellos que sentimos la música como un arte y la vivimos como una pasión en extremo profunda, sabemos apreciar cuando estamos ante un artista cuya expresión artística se distingue de los demás. Luis Miguel es un vivo ejemplo de ello. Como intérprete, no creo que a nivel Latinoamericano (respetando los diferentes estilos)haya alguien que pueda superarlo. La música que acompaña a su excepcional voz, siempre ha sido excelente puesto que los músicos de los que se rodea tienen una calidad eximia. En todos sus discos esto ha quedado demostrado.
Su más reciente trabajo (33), es un regalo y una "complacencia" para aquellos que esperamos con ahnelo e ilusión que la música vuelva a su esencia y sea interpretada por profesionales que disfruten tocando su instrumento, no una computadora. Todas las canciones de este disco son excelentes, lo cuál en estos tiempos es algo bastante difícil de encontrar en un CD. Además de disfrutar hasta el éxtasis de las insuperables baladas que Luis Miguel siempre nos presenta en sus producciones, mi piel se puso "de gallina" al escuchar las melodías y la música de "eres" y "con tus besos". ¡Fue como regresar a la música soul y disco de finales de los 70's e inicios de 80's! ¡Cuanto esperaba oir algo así en Español! Los que gustan disfrutar de música fina y selecta, verán satisfechos sus ávidos deseos con esta producción. Aconsejo que asistan a los conciertos de Luis Miguel: la mejor "performance" en vivo de Latinoamérica y me atrevo a decir de las mejores del mundo!"
