"It has often been said that Beny Moré is among the very finest Cuban vocalists ever, and this if proven time and time again, not only in the reflections of modern day Cuban musicians, or the fidelity of his fans, but also in the perseverant interest in forming the "ultimate' Beny Moré collection. Rev-Ola managed to pack in 23 selections from El Barbaro's legendary career. They all showcase the singer's subtle, sensual interpretation, the silky accompaniment that became his signature trademark, and the consistently classic quality of music that has stood the test of time. The fidelity of these recordings is really incredible, considering the time period from which they came. Moré's rich, molasses tenor is rendered in all its original depth and color. However: though it's a fine collection, it missed the boat on some of Moré's better-known material." (Evan C. Gutierrez, Allmusic) Juist dat laatste maakt dit een ideale aanvulling op de 2CD-set "Grandes Exitos" van Envidia, waarmee alleen "Tu Solo Tu" doubleert.
Nobody better represents the wonderful marriage of Cuban influences in the 1950s than Beny Moré. He is to Cuban popular music Sinatra is to the west.
"De beste Cubaanse zanger ooit (1919-63) nam van 1945 tot '50 met Perez Prado's orkest deze son-, bolero- & guaracha-classics op (sommige kent u nu van Ferrer en co) met z'n majestueuze, elegante, wat ondeugende stem. Barbaars goed!" (Pieter Franssen, Oor)
