    Jennifer Lopez rocks! And She Will do it again and again. Como Ama Una Mujer is one of JLO Best Work Along with Bordertown song "Porque La Vida Es Asi" and of course "ALive" of Enough movie. She's the Best Artist.

    Definitely the best album by La Lopez so far. For the first time again, i hear her being sincere, like she was way back then with her first album, "On the 6". Her voice has definitely improved on this album too Highlight: "Apresurate". Best song in that album, everything just flows so well on it. "Te Voy A Querer" is screaming to be single. "Por Arriesgarnos" Jennifer sings like an angel, Definitely the best album by La Lopez so far.

    This album is Jennifer Lopez best album! Almost every song is amazing and she proofs that her singing ability is great. The bests song are "Qué hiciste", "Tú" and "Como ama una mujer", but the others songs are also good. This is by far her best album ever!

    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.

    Amazing Album. I think this is the first time that her voice actually stood out. I know of some Spanish but I can distinguish that she's improved a lot with this album - thx to Marc Anthony's training I'm sure. She does have a voice and all the songs in this album are awesome! I love the melody!!! Even more so for people who speak Spanish, they would appreciate it even Amazing Album. I think this is the first time that her voice actually stood out.

    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...

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… Expand

    I am stunned by this album. Jennifer Lopez, singing in Spanish, has created the most passionate album of 2007. I'm not a Lopez fan and I don't speak Spanish, but I am a huge fan of this album. I love the passion and fire I hear in Lopez's voice. She has never sounded better - confident, sexy, very dramatic. Her diction in Spanish is over the top.

    I have a question about Metacritic's rating? Does it change as reviews keep coming? because i think that rating this album on 5 reviews only isn't enough. I collected some very positive reviews about this album, about like 15. This album is Jennifer's strongest effort. She has the voice of an angel, she sings with sincerety and sensuality.

She shines on the ballad "Como Ama Una Mujer" and gives us power on "Te Voy A Querer". We're never tired of that magnificent first single "Qué Hiciste", full of anger and sadness. BUT, even though Lopez has stated many times that this cd is a ballad album, we wished for a hot upbeat latin flavoured track - a la "Let's Get Loud" ou "Open Off My Love" from On The 6. Still, most of the songs here are catchy ("Apresurate"), or just beautiful ("Tu" - best song on the record). "Porqué Te marchas", spanish version of "This is me" on her previous effort, Rebirth" is definitely better than the original: she sings with a sadness we would think this song is directed to Ben Affleck or Diddy (both cheated on her). The songs i'm feeling the less are "Me Haces Falta" which is too "pop" comparing to the other tracks, and "Amarte es todo" where she sounds kinda tired. I give J.Lo credit for focusing on the interpretation, the lyrics, the musicality of the songs rather than the beats like on her previous albums. I wish her good luck and success with this amazing cd! Keep on working with Marc Anthony, he's a great artist and his influence on Jenny-Lo is wonderful… Expand

    I am tired of people--including music and movie critics--who condemn Jennifer Lopez because she's Jennifer Lopez. Please listen to her music and watch her movies before pretending you know what you're writing about--and then comment on the performance, not the the image.

    Jennifer comes with a new style of music this time maybe trying to conquier other hearts. those probably who are not fond of her earlier albums might find it appealing this. some who loved her music might be dissapointed this time or just get over it and wait for the next. This album fills me with happines and power. I hope you will love this album.

    Vocally, the best effort from Lopez. The album is a gem in her catalogue, however, most fans would probably want a more uptempo effort from her. I personally enjoy the ballads.

    Very romantic, deep, sometimes angry. A job that has aged very well. Jennifer struggled and noticed a breakthrough in her vocal in this work

    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.

    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.

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