"One of the most enjoyable charanga albums I've ever heard. Once Busco Una Chiquita fills the room, the only feet that won't automatically tap have a toe tag attached to them. It's a blast throughout. No deep thinking lyrics, just old-fashioned tunes reinterpreted by one of the greatest bands of all time. Songs like Cachita are given new life with Alfredo de la Fe's violin swirling between sharp trumpets and rock-steady percussion work by the great Nicky Marrero. A young José Alberto shows off his vocal talents on several tunes, but this is really about a talented team working together, not individuals. Besides charanga-style son, Típica also plays a killer chachachá (Chanchullo) and a smoking comparsa medley (Comparsas). You won't have to scavenge your way through this one to find a tune you like. All you have to do is hit PLAY and Típica will take care of the rest. Buen provecho." (Abel Delgado 98/99 Catalog)
"Get 'em all and hear how this all-star group progressed from Ray B. refugees to hallowed 'musicans' musicians band status...yours truly was there and enjoyed every moment. This one is a standout among standouts." (Phil Riggio 98/99 Catalog)
"Nicky Marrero plays excellent timbales in the charanga style on this recording. I listen to it whenever I want to hear some typical charanga licks." (Victor Rendón 96/97 Catalog)
