Critical reception

Music & Media wrote, "Caramba, coveritis has hit the Estefan estate. For every mood there's a song, but mainly for the late night wine-and-dine atmosphere. 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying' feels like the kind of moonlit drama, the original singers Gerry & The Pace Makers intended it to be. The European bonus track 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me' by you know who, only intensifies the romance which is in the air. Sometimes the tempo goes up like on the Blood, Sweat & Tears song 'You've Made Me So Very Happy.' For the single 'Turn The Beat Around'–an old '70s disco hit by Vicki Sue Robinson–she has even polished her Miami Sound Machine dancing shoes."
