Rolling Stone (6/16/94, p.109) - 3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - "...an expansive meld of R&B, Tex Mex, rock, soul and blues that is cinematic in scope....In some ways LATIN PLAYBOYS is reminiscent of Dylan and the Band's BASEMENT TAPES because it showcases new musical ideas as possibilities....LATIN PLAYBOYS is a raw jewel of pure groove..."Spin (4/94, p.94) - "...sweet and sour guitars, slurpy Beefheartian swamp riffs, languid keyboard atmospheres and tinkly pianos, and high-voltage sonic memories just out of reach..."Option (8/94, p.109) - "...Wonderfully simple hooks float over a murky, layered ground of transmissions from some subconcious Latin radio station. Snippets of what could be '40s Latin big bands shuffle along, voices drop in and out, and electric guitar solos hang with no purpose..."Musician (5/94, p.71) - "...Evocative as all get-out and sometimes quite beautiful, these humble songs allude to ancient mysteries without displaying the cornier flourishes of lesser Lobos efforts, instead spreading the mood gently, like a benign fog..."Village Voice (2/28/95) - Ranked #27 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.5.054205
