Guerra is the king of bachata romantica, a smoother, more pan-American merengue which owes much to the new lush salsa-romantica style. Incorporating large horn sections and ballad-style singing and chorus into a dance music often leads to disaster, but Guerra's tight control over the whole recording process (he produced, arranged and directed recording in his own studio) gives the songs a coherence missing from many pop recordings. It's very now and quite pretty. ~ Carl Hoyt, All Music Guide
