JazzTimes wrote that "it is Bosch’s trombone that brings out the character of the music: hot, yes, but not heavy, worldly and knowing, and ultimately engaging."[9] The Orlando Sentinel thought that "Bosch is a first-rate writer ... he and his group of monster improvisers don't traffic in trite riffs or predictable arrangements."[13] Jazziz deemed the album an "industrial strength variant of urbanized, AfroCuban-rooted dance music."[14]
The Toronto Star noted that "Bosch filters son, plena, conga, descarga and bolero forms through a more muscular framework."[1] The Sun-Sentinel stated that Bosch's "brand of salsa dura—the sound he created by returning salsa to its Afro-Cuban call-and-response roots, employing instrumental solos and improvisation—makes him one of Latin America's most dynamic bandleaders."[15]
AllMusic called the album "a collection of salsa dance tunes, sescargas, boleros, mozambiques, plenas and guajiras with detailed arrangements and energetic playing from Bosch and his band."[12]
