Juanes [is] energized and inspired”- NEW YORK TIMES – Sunday Arts & Leisure

“*****/Five solid stars. - Juanes has delivered one of the best Latin music albums of the year. …Juanes has met and exceeded the expectations that have surrounded this project from the very beginning. JUANES MTV Unplugged offers an innovative and unique sound where we can see the evolution of one of today’s most popular Latin music artists. …Musically speaking, there are just so many good things about JUANES MTV Unplugged – an album that touches many different Latin music genres… you can listen to Cumbia beats in “Me Enamora” just like you can be seduced by the Bolero melody that defines “Para Tu Amor” …and the brass sessions on this album are fantastic. …every single track on this album incorporates a good amount of musical innovation. …”Azul Sabina” – featuring the legendary Spanish singer Joaquín Sabina, is the Best Surprise. I was blown away when I first listened to this amazing track – A fantastic New Orleans style blues.  If this is the kind of stuff Juanes is planning to produce in the future, I am definitely looking forward to the next album.” - About.com: Latin Music

“Oh, do we adore this one!  MTV Tr3s premieres their latest Unplugged special featuring the Colombian musical god… and Juanes has got it all!  Perfection! His voice is like silk” – Perez Hilton

“Juanes’ acoustic reading of more than a decade of hits is a lyrical journey where his traditional rock guitars are accompanied by choral accents, touches of jazz piano and tropical horns.  Under the production of Juan Luis Guerra, Juanes turns many of his hits into more introspective – and often slower and elegant – songs… a testament to their melodic and lyrical weight. …the vaudeville-esque ‘Azul Sabina’ is a delightful collaboration.  And of course there’s ‘La Camisa Negra’ in its more acoustic rendition. But with the beat and intent intact, it’s a telling bridge between past and present” - Billboard

“Juanes gives new life to his greatest hits in ‘Juanes: MTV Unplugged’ - where you can appreciate the excitement of an artist that really shows great passion in making music.” – El Especial

“Juanes makes magic with  MTV Unplugged.  It was a historic night. We’ve seen Juanes play stadiums and rock Madison Square Garden. And yet, he’s never sounded this good …The sumptuous arrangements breathe new life into familiar hits …Juanes poured out his heart and reminded all of the power of his voice.…A rare and beautiful gift.” – -Univision
