Victor Manuelle, now seasoned and more confident, has turned in (with the help of salsa creative whiz José Manuel Lugo) one of his most accomplished and well-rounded productions. Lugo and Manuelle drift away somewhat from the already familiar Sergio George sound, favoring a more traditional, old-timer feel, but maintaining the aggressiveness that fits the latter's vocalizing and improvisational skills.

Highly enjoyable, and one of the top Puerto Rico-based salsa albums of 2001. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., Rovi
