Industry Reviews
...has expanded her musical world view to include nearly the whole of Latin America....Estefan's rhythmic sense is stronger than ever. simply put, this is some of the best music she's ever made.
Musician (11/01/1995)
...those who choose to accept the challenge implicit in the title (which translates as `opening doors') might find this spirited collection of salsa and other south-of-the-border styles as invigorating as it is esoteric. - Rating: B
