Billboard

Dovetailing with her choice of sound and arrangements that straddle convention and invention, Lopez mines new emotional depths. [31 Mar 2007]

Boston Globe

A sincere album, organic in its instrumentation and introspective in its lyrics.

Entertainment Weekly

Como Ama does represent a victory for Lopez by offering fairly persuasive proof that, contrary to rumor, she can sing, and without a regiment of background choralists. All that bulking up she's been doing at the vocal gym isn't enough, though, to turn flaccid torch songs into muscle.

Slant Magazine

The problem is that Lopez easily ages herself by a decade or two. In other words, Mama Lopez is probably going to love this album.

Sputnikmusic

What we get is listless by the numbers "latin rock", dull, sleepy ballads, and overblown Diva numbers I wouldn't wish on Whitney Houston.

Vibe

The music... is tacky and overproduced.... The songwriting here far outstrips Lopez's previous albums, though. [May 2007, p.116]

Q Magazine

Sloppy, emotion-free, chicken-in-a-basket ballads. [May 2007, p.125]

One hates to pile on, but you can't help it with Jennifer. She stunningly sucks. I mean, she's so bad, Ben Affleck, of all people, ran for the hills from her. You've really got to laugh at those who think she's actually got talent. Maybe for self-promotion, but that's about it. Sheep, if you really want to hear what a great female singer sounds like, pick up the new Feist album.

I really love this album... Had been a Jennifer Lopez fan since her On the 6 days... this is a truly sincere album.. & her best album ever... You could only relate to this album if you are trully in Love....

Come on Metacritic, how can you ignore the great reviews that this cd got and give it a 45 rating based on the "only" bad reviews it had! Can't believe it's her worst received album... Talking about the songs, i really like them. Jennifer sings very passionately and better than ever... She has definitely improved so much vocally wise. I like the fact that they didn't overproduce the album to hide her vocals' weakness, like in "Rebirth" for instance. It's raw, magic, and very musical. Best songs are "Tu", "Porque te marchas", "Sola" and "Apresurate". I wish she'd include more upbeat salsa tinged songs on it, but she did great with the ballads. I recommend the album for Jennifer Lopez's english-speaking fans who don't care about any spanish music, because music is universal and language shouldn't matter. I also recommend it to suckers for ballads, slow romantic songs... You should give the album as a gift for your significant other too haha

JORGE M gave it a10:
An amazing collection of songs--all with Mark A.'s genuis sound. The lyrics of every song are outstanding. They give a glimpse of their intimate relationship and how they just followed their hearts to become a couple. It's amazing to hear Jen sing "Que Hiciste", a song clearly addressing Mark's side of his breakup with his ex, Dayanara Torres--but sung by his current wife--superb! If the last cut, "Adios", an anthem, doesn't give you goosebumps or make you shed a tear, well, I pity you. Jen, you made me proud.

Niki gave it a10:
This album is truly amazing! In order to appreciate this record, you need to actually like Spanish love music. If you're looking for dance songs, these are not them. The best effort from Jennifer and now I cannot wait for her future projects.
