"Y la de barranquilla creía que cantando con Sanz pegaba duro, no contaba con que saliera tremendo CD de esta cubana que demuestra como se hace música de verdad y no el reggaeton que se inventa Shakira y conste que soy colombiano. Espectacular de lejos se nota que esta chica va a dar de que hablar en la música."
Pure emotion and talent

"I am a music lover who has a hard time finding real art in a world where appearance is more important than talent. This girl has an amazing voice and the songs included in the CD are near perfection. She projects a lot of emotion and the instrumentation of the songs helps the audience in feeling those emotions. I hope Lena reaches success because she deserves it."
Elena Burke lives

"Lena is an extraordinary vocalist/composer faithful to her family tradition of feeling in performance. Her compositions, piano playing and vocals are proof of her all-around talents. She is a complete musician. It has been a long time since I heard something like this. While doing "her own thing", she proudly carries the legacy of her grandmother, Elena Burke and her mother Malena Burke. Everyone who has heard them will agree that Elena Burke is still among us. A round of applause goes to Alejandro Sanz for helping us overcome the loss of Elena by sharing this joyful musical experience with us.

"La verdad es que no pense que este CD estuviera tan bueno cuando lo compre pero tiene muy buenas canciones. Si tienen la oportunidad comprenlo, de las mas buenas que tiene son Viejos Tiempos, Que Seria De Mi y Puedo Jurarlo aunque todas estan muy buenas!"
Really talented girl.

"This girl seems to have everything. She is very good looking, has a very mellow but strong voice and an infinite talent. Her music is very unique and has a real personality which is something not very easy to find nowadays because singers only look for commercial success. Lena's music is a very elegant pop including piano on every track. This really makes the album unique, old fashioned but at the same time very fresh. She's the one who plays the piano and makes the music for the songs that she composes with very good lyrics.
The first single of this albums was "TU CORAZON" next to Alejandro Sanz. This song was a hit in Latin America but it didn't make an impression in the US. I don't know why. That song is the most beated up on the album, the rest are ballads but some of the ballads have background racket what makes them more enjoyable. The second single of this album was track #8 "PUEDO JURARLO" a song with incredible lyrics and sound, that song is amazing such as "QUE SERIA DE MI", in overall the song album is very good, every song is fantastic because Lena has a flawless performance.
Beyond commercial success which was something that Lena or this album had, the academy really made a good job by nominating Lena as "Best new artist" and giving this album also a Grammy nomination. I hope that Lena wins at least one and continues singing beacuse it's a real pleasure listening to her music."
