Editorial Reviews

Sexy heartthrob Enrique Iglesias returns with a slickly produced collection of rhythmic ballads ("Esperanza," "Cosas del Amor") and soft rocking sing-along tunes ("Desnudo," "Contigo"). Iglesias, who wrote six songs here, sounds more confident and in control than ever in this work produced by Rafael Perez-Botija. Ultimately, though, most of this stuff sounds like lightweight pop pap wrapped in lush arrangements, occasionally overly dramatic and consistently overproduced. The tunes go down nicely, but they're instantly forgotten once they're over. The only tunes into which Iglesias injects some notable fire are "Para de Jugar" and the R&B/funk-flavored "Dicen por Ahi." It hardly matters, however, to his main audience--mostly adoring female fans. Iglesias's matinee-idol looks and this sweet ear candy are all they need. --Ramiro Burr

5.0 out of 5 stars HIS BEST CD IN SPANISH., April 12, 2003

By	Javier Lopez (Peru) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When Enrique released his first cd back in 1995, I found it terrible, well actually the music and the lyrics were good but his voice back then was horrible. But in 1997 when his second one came out I found it better.
So in 1999 after listening to hits like "Esperanza" (Hope) and "Cosas del amor" (Love's things). I bought this tittle and I liked very much. The first song "Nunca te olvidare" (I'll never forget you) is a very good love song such as "Dice por ahi" (They say there around), "Contigo" (With you) or "Alguien como tu" (someone like you).
I also like Enrique's happier songs like "Para de jugar" (Stop playing) and one of my favorites, "Ruleta rusa" (I don't know how is the name of this game in English, I'm just gonna tell you how this game is. Is a round board with several colors and each one has an award or you can lose becuase you have to make it spin and when it stops you know if you lose or win something).
Returning to the cd, it's very good, I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just ear candy!!, June 24, 2002

By	Caresse Mandylor (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews

Enrique is one of the more fulfilling artists of the current pop scene. Sure he has those naughty little boy good looks, but if you look into his eyes, you see a lot of depth. And that "old soul" persona really comes through on this album (in which he wrote a lot of the songs). His expression of love, not as hearts and candy and rainbows, but all consuming, breathtaking and confusing...a mixture of both the ultimate pleasure and the ultimate pain. For women, he expresses love through a man's eyes...as in "Desnudo" - "I lied, I dreamed and I pretended about what was outside. I am guilty for the sake of making myself into what you wanted me to be." Enrique Iglesias is worth learning Spanish for and I hope to still be listening to his work when I'm 80!!

5.0 out of 5 stars ENRIQUE'S THIRD / ALL GOOD SONGS !!!, November 17, 2004

By	Adonay "REGIO" - See all my reviews

This cd has all good songs with good lyrics and soulful music. There's really not a bad song here just a cd full of hits, so i can't really pick a favorite. Probably the most monotonous song would be #8 Para de Jugar because it only has two small pharagraphs and the chourus is just repeated over and over again. The singles chosen out of this cd really stand out from the rest, but the title theme, #2 Cosas del Amor, is also a good song. He really starts to prove what he can do with his voice, especially in #6 Alguien Como Tu, where he holds a note out for a while. This is probably his cd where he shows that he's maturing in his lyrics and music. The success from this great cd prepares him for his crossover to the English market.
