The Allmusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album three-and-a-half stars, and said that Cole "still didn't have much feeling for Spanish".[1]

This album was a big hit in Brazil during the 60s where it became Cole's most recognized work.

Personnel

gollark: Er, do you know what React.js and Reason *are*?
gollark: Meh, it should probably work.
gollark: As I said, it currently boots into its stock ROM perfectly, I just don't know how or why.
gollark: I was thinking I could- install magisk by patching boot image- use the manufacturer/MediaTek's weird poorly documented flashing tool to try and flash the recovery instead of fastbootbut that has a possibility of breaking things in weird ways
gollark: Yep!
