Industry Reviews 4.5 stars out of 5 - ...Delves deep into the bassist's amoury, crossing musical boundaries and utilizing sophisticated technology....there are enough ideas on this ambitious offering to fuel several albums. Down Beat (10/01/2001)
...mirrors some BVSC arrangements, but overall [Lopez] favors a darker, harder-edged sound... CMJ (06/04/2001)
...Lopez is recorded dry and heavy, and pushed right to the front pf the mix....The rhythms are Channel One-era mid-tempo and sounds like it has been lifted from a Scientist album. The Wire (05/01/2001)
...It's fresher and far more contemporary....CACHAITO is filled with descargas, jams that allow the musicians to express their empathy without restrictions... Mojo (05/01/2001)
4 stars out of 5 - ...A hugely rewarding adventure, blending Hammond-friendly dub effects, jaw-dropping strings and Manuel Galvan's extraordinary spaced-out guitar with the coolest and slinkiest set of Latin jazz rhythms... Q (06/01/2001)
8 out of 10 - ...Future-gazing with gusto...showcasing his savage side....neurotic pomo gusto, crossfading from big-band splendor to surf-guitar riffing to hip-hop mixology... Spin (08/01/2001)
