Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...A solid salsa record by 2 wily veterans, great musicians both....offering plenty of the driving grooves and street-tough muscle of the old-style salsa...
Down Beat (11/01/2000)
...What makes this seamless session so surprising [is] that both men forget their stylistic differences and party with wild abandon, mixing salsa with tango and mariachi....An operatic finale to Puente's prolific discography. - Rating: A
