Rolling Stone (4/13/00, p.131) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Continues to open borders, combining the historic sounds of black Peru with the contributions of avant-garde musicians....Baca captures history even as she transcends it."Spin (4/00, p.201) - "...Baca keeps her miraculous ensemble and gets accessorized by pop-jazz stylist Craig Street, who wisely gives her close-miked vowels plenty of room."Q (8/00, p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Showcases [her] pure, melancholic vocals alongside a cool backdrop of Spanish guitar, percussion and bass....when she lightens up...the world seems a better place."The Wire (6/00, p.64) - "...An alluring and thoughtfully balanced set, mixing new with adapted traditional songs."CMJ (4/00, p.44) - "...[her] rich, sensual vocal takes center stage....Her ballads smolder, and her up-tempo numbers are striking for their depth....[the] grooves are elastic...while guitar, wooden box percussion, and bass alone etch complex rhythmic beds..."Mojo (Publisher) (6/00, p.112) - "...The relaxed intimacy is obvious from the first notes of 'De Los Amores'.

Spin - "The lush production by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor and Benders frontman Christopher Chu embeds the band's elaborate melodies in a colorful wall of sound..."CMJ - "The album fits squarely in the mold of classic, folksy indie rock, but the band and Taylor bring a few new shades of beauty to keep things interesting."Pitchfork (Website) - "[The album has] a more coastal, kaleidoscopic California haze. It also finds them embracing the cavernous experimental rock sound of Grizzly Bear..."Uncut (magazine) (p.115) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "There's more charm when they relax, in the swooning washes of 'Pleasure Sighs' and the blissed-out Brian Wilsonisms of 'Sleeping In'."8.384299
