"This cd by Victor Manuelle definitely takes modern salsa to it's next dimension. Prior to this album Victor Manuelle was not a well known name when salsa artists were mentioned however with the release of this recording, his third, Victor has become the only salsa artist or "sonero" that gets recognition by many of salsa's greatest artists and avid fans.This album is the most complete display of musical originality (while still maintaining traditional salsa sounds and rhythms) combined with a strong expressive voice by a young promising artist. It would be unjust to praise only one song in this album because all are praiseworthy for their sound, rhythm and exceptional lyrics. This cd is a fine display of musical talent by a salsa artist who will become a member of the exclusive club of artists whose salsa has been titled "salsa coleccionista". Basically this cd or any other by Victor Manuelle will validate the praise and recognition that he has earned."
UN DISCO SUPER BUENO...DE PRINCIPIO A FIN!

"ESTE CD DE VICTOR MANUELLE ESTA SUPER BUENO. LOS MUSICOS, LOS ARREGLOS Y SOBRE TODO LA EXCELENTE VOZ DE VICTOR MANUELLE HACEN DE ESTA PRODUCCION TODO UN EXITO. "COMO UNA ESTRELLA" Y "HAY QUE PONER EL ALMA" SON ALGUNOS DE LOS EXITOS DE VICTOR MANUELLE QUE CON SU GRAN VOZ NOS HACE IDENTIFICARNOS CON CADA LETRA DE LA CANCION. VICTOR MANUELLE "EL SONERO DE LA JUVENTUD" ES UNO DE LOS ORGULLOS MAS GRANDES QUE TIENE PUERTO RICO. YO AL IGUAL QUE MILES DE PERSONAS ADMIRAMOS LA GRAN CARRERA Y HUMILDAD PERSONAL DE ESTE ARTISTA, ORGULLO DE LA ISLA DEL ENCANTO.TAMBIEN RECOMIENDO LOS CD'S DE OTROS ORGULLOS DE PUERTO RICO COMO: "SIMPLEMENTE" DE CHAYANNE, "PASIONAL" DE JESSICA CRISTINA, "SUBEME EL VOLUMEN" DE MICHAEL STUART, "EXPRESION" DE GILBERTO SANTA ROSA, "OLGA VIVA, VIVA OLGA" DE OLGA TAÑON, "AMAR ES UN JUEGO" DE MILLIE, "TRES" DE FIEL A LA VEGA Y "CORAZON" DE EDNITA NAZARIO."

"With this release, Victor Manuelle brought the Sonero back to the Salsa scene. Victor and Sergio George have fused the classic sonero de Puerto Rico with the street edge of urban New York. Victor's style is reminiscent of Ruben Blades. The tracks differ in pace, have solos (no longer heard in Salsa) and a funk that can't be denied. Welcome contribution from the young Puerto Rican generation who was getting tired of sappy love swoons."
Esto no es salsa...........................

"La musica de Victor Manuelle es floja y no se puede clasificar como Salsa. En realidad es un sonsonete recyclado en cada disco. Como Boricua e instructor de baile de salsa puedo decir que las personas se frustran tratando de bailar salsa con la musica de Victor Manuelle. Les digo que si quieren escuchar y bailar buena Salsa escogan la musica de la Sonora Poncena, Willie Rosario y El Gran Combo entre otros..........Eso si es musica de verdad y Salsa Boricua..........."
