Mexican crooner Jaime Camil has plenty of competition to wade through if he wants to make a real impact, but Para Estar Contigo seems a promising start. Camil is clearly being marketed as the latest Latino heartthrob via lush balladry and the various beefcake shots that decorate this CD's booklet. He has also no doubt studied the work of international idol Luis Miguel. Camil has a rich, deep voice that recalls Miguel's confident delivery throughout Para Estar Contigo. The handsome singer nicely wraps his swooping vocals around ballads such as "Nada es Igual Sin Ti" and "Nunca Dejarte Ir," which benefit from lush instrumentation. But whereas Miguel falters when he attempts to tackle upbeat numbers, Camil remains in control. He showcases a sexy swagger amid blaring horns, pulsing rhythms, and rousing choruses on "Fiesta de Amor," "Me Llego el Amor," and "Encadename." Camil may be another pretty face, but his voice should entice at least a few people to listen. --Joey Guerra

4.0 out of 5 stars You Must Love This!, July 22, 2001

By	Benjamin See Tan (Taipei City Taiwan) - See all my reviews

I came across this album through Amazon recommendation and never regretted purchasing it. While Jaime Camil's voice is not perfect, he was able to show his versatility in this album with a wide repertoire that includes ballads, pop and dance music. I am a non-Spanish speaker but came to love this album very much. At least 7 out of the 10 songs will appeal even to those who do not udnerstand Spanish (like me). Highly recommended and looking forward to his next work.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for his first album, June 23, 2000

By	"xcaret" (Mexico) - See all my reviews

If you like pop, ballads, and rhythmic songs plus a nice voice this could be an album for you... Its not a great production, but its a good production... for being his first album it is.. plus the producer its a great producer we are talking about Rudy Perez a producer that has many hits on his list... Jaime Camil has a very nice vocie; he can sing..and he also adds alot of feeling to the romantic songs. My favorite songs are "para estar contigo" and "nada es igual sin ti" beautiful lyrics...

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Songs from a talented (and GORGEOUS) artist, January 2, 2001

By	Glen - See all my reviews

Jaime Camil is a very talented performer. The songs here and their production are top-notch, and Camil's delivery is very inspired and passionate. (and it doesn't hurt to sell a few CD's that he is a gorgeous man!)
