  ## Reception
  
  NPR wrote that the album, in contrast to his previous work, "finds Cuba sounding less moody than usual, and appropriately surrounded by funky and lighthearted music." Billboard called the track "Solo Tu" a highlight, referring to it as a "pop anthem". The Toronto Star wrote that he is "deftly mixing his Cuban son roots with good, old-fashioned 1970s pop and light rock."
