Apr 19, 2016Surprisingly, this album brings everything we loved Santana for. I mean great music. I mean heart and soul. I mean chemistry. I mean magic.
Don't be skeptical about this. Just close your eyes and listen.

MojoMay 24, 2016This album delivers rather less than the hoped-for thrilling mix of Latin rhythms, scorching organ and lyrical blues-mariachi guitar solos, but does so in bulk. [Jul 2016, p.96]

May 20, 2016Santana IV rolls back the years to the time when the band melded spicy percussive Latin grooves with searing blues-rock. Seraphic-voiced Ron Isley fronts a couple of tunes but it’s the spacey, psychedelic instrumental, Fillmore East, and addictive salsa-rock of Anywhere You Want To Go, that impress the most.
