[Guerra] has no equivalent in English-speaking pop, though there are parallels to songwriters like Paul Simon, Sting and Smokey Robinson. Like Mr. Simon and Sting, Mr. Guerra has forged hybrid rhythms, melding merengue and other beats from the Dominican Republic with styles from across the Caribbean, guitar lines from Africa and touches of jazz and rock… His music is cosmopolitan, but it never forgets its island roots.” – The New York Times

“…merengue superstar Juan Luis Guerra is considered a poet and musician of the people. He and his band 440 are much loved throughout the Latino world and he has become one of the new wave of artists responsible for revitalizing tropical music… With his typical style and charm [on La Llave de Mi Corazón], Juan Luis Guerra delivers an intoxicating mix of merengue, bachata and salsa so expertly written and performed as to become an old favorite after the very first listen… surprises listeners with the unique texture and feel of each track, with evocative melodies and poetic lyrics… Guerra takes to each new musical terrain as if it were his native soil…Not surprisingly, this record went straight to the top of Billboard’s Latin Tropical Albums Charts… Llave de Mi Corazón marks Guerra’s ascension from genre heavy hitter to living legend.” – All Music Guide
