...third track on the album is Meat Loaf’s “original” rendition of the Celine Dion hit “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now.” Written by Steinman in 1983, the song was shelved in favor of “I Would Do Anything for Love” until Dion made it her own. Meat Loaf adds absolutely nothing to a song we should never have to hear again anyway...

Buitrago's groovy bass is mixed with blaring Mexican trumpets, a touch of reverberating accordion and some twangy sounds imported from India - all while Echeverri innocently croons: "Don Dinero how I love you/Don Dinero you are the main guy." In the same vein is Oye Mujer, a pop song that takes on the idea of the over-sexualized woman. "Sex object, piece of meat with a Barbie complex," growls Echeverri in the chorus. It sounds earnest, but it isn't. Both songs are melodic and danceable. The experience is like having vitamins in your candy: it tastes good...
