Reviews:
"Anything by Arsenio is essential to the serious Cuban music fan, in particular anything featuring the voice of Miguelito Cuní and the trumpet playing of Félix Chappottín. Despite his tragic end, Arsenio left us with a musical legacy that will surely stand the test of time." (Rebeca Mauleón 96/97 Catalog)
"The master of Cuban tres, the originator of the conjunto sound, and an originator of the mambo. Arsenio is quoted in the liner notes as saying that this was his best release. Includes 'Hacero Pa' Un Palo'." (Nina Lenart 94/95 Catalog)
"These aren't his greatest sides -- that might be the collection 'A Todos Los Barrios,' though I don't like the sound on the CD reissue of that title. But Arsenio is always great, and, as I'm a guitarist, his extended tres jam on 'Linda Cubana' does it for me." (Ned Sublette 94/95 Catalog)
"Arsenio revolutionized the Cuban son and laid down a standard that still exists today. Modern day salsa owes its very existence to this man's innovations. If you haven't heard Arsenio's music yet, it may strike you as 'old-fashioned,' but just as with the be-bop recordings of Charlie Parker, this music is timeless." (David Peñalosa 94/95 Catalog)
