Critical reception
The Philadelphia Inquirer said that the album "combines jazz and salsa with the intensity of a rock beat".[20] The Globe and Mail opined that "the pop/fusion is generic stuff, and D'Rivera sounds like just another rich-toned, swooning romantic in this context."[14] The Windsor Star stated that "Latin rhythms are never far away—from the contemporary funk-fusion of the title to the lightly skipping 'Paquito's Samba'".[6] The Omaha World-Herald concluded that it was D'Rivera's "best album to date".[18]
