Chayanne has never been a particularly expressive singer, but the schizophrenic sounds of Sincero make for one of the most appealing and liberating albums of the Puerto Rican pop hunk's career. The entertainer's carefully choreographed dance moves and smoldering good looks often overshadowed his singing in the past, but Sincero finds Chayanne spreading his wings and stretching his vocal abilities to good effect. The album blends tender love songs, acoustic instrumentation, earthy dance rhythms, salsa, ska-tinged rock and even a few bluesy touches into one surprisingly irresistible package. Freed from the constraints of by-the-numbers ballads and generic dance tracks, Chayanne sounds re-energized through much of the album, often echoing the no-frills sentiments of Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz. "Sentada Aqui en Mi Alma" and "Un Siglo Sin Ti" are subtly intoxicating moments; "Caprichosa" and "Santa Sofia" benefit from tight musical accompaniment and forceful chorus cries. It's a surprising move for the singer after so many commercially successful years in the game, but Sincero seems to have finally unlocked the untapped potential hidden behind Chayanne's pretty-boy packaging. --Joey Guerra

5.0 out of 5 stars Sincero, different but delightful, October 5, 2003

By	LunaSi (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

When the buzz started about the content of this cd I was a little anxious. Rock, Hip hop, Rap ??? Not the Chayanne I am use to, but as I've learned with other artists every cd can't be an out of the park homerun. So I prepared myself for a cd I would like, but not love. I was wrong, I admit it, I LOVE this cd. Chayanne went in a new direction and the resulting production is absolutely awesome. Naturally there are his signature romantic ballads which transport you to the romantic corners of your mind, but there are also some harder edged, rock tinge, electric guitar highlighting songs that blew me away. If you're a fan buy it you won't be disappointed. If he's someone you haven't experienced before, buy it and you'll be a fan from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars el mejor disco de chayanne !, September 5, 2003

By	lina (israel) - See all my reviews

hace mucho que estoy escuchando la musica de chayanne , pero hasta hoy crei que su mejor disco era atado a tu amor, en este disco chayanne suena mucho mas sincero como el mismo lo dice. las canciones estan perfectas desde baladas romanticas como cuidarte el alma hasta canciones ritmicas como vaiven.
la cancion sentada aqui en mi alma te toca el alma, un siglo sin ti tambien esta muy buena. en fin si aun no compraron el disco corren a comprar .
