    I'm giving an OK rating because; as far as remix albums go; this at least has some individual tracks that are really good. The mixes of Girl, Missing and Hell Yes (almost like it better than the original) are fantastic. Most of the others are quite forgettable, but thankfully its only the Black Tambourine mix (which in advance I thought would be a really good track to remix) that I'm giving an OK rating because; as far as remix albums go; this at least has some individual tracks that are really good.

    I liked it and would say it is the best Beck album thus far. He seems to have a different style with this album...nit bad though.

    Boring. Really boring. And unnecessary.

    Guero: Loved It. Guerolito: Pointless! I mean seriously, Beck had it good enough before the remixes. Some say it would make a nice companion to Guero, but it doesn't. Especially the Hell Yes remix. It's all very boring and stupid. Way to f*** up another great album, Beck.

    Guerolito is a strange album. Sometimes it feels like an great addition to Guero. Ghost Range by homelife feels like an trippy western with some awesome violins. Heaven Hammer feels like an eighties drama in itself. Ghettoship malfunction is more of an game intro and it is good. A lot of other mixes are fine and feels like some nice views on these songs. However, the album can't escape aGuerolito is a strange album. Sometimes it feels like an great addition to Guero. Ghost Range by homelife feels like an trippy western with some awesome violins.

However, the album can't escape a sense of pointlessness. Guero is an great album, but didn't feel like it should be remixed. I think the Information and Color would have been a better pick, because these albums are more beat-driven. There are some terrible mixes on this album. Girl was an awesome darkly comic song, but this version feels like an emo kid not having his eye-liner. The Scarecrow mix just sucks.
    Overall consensus: Guerolito is a fun, breezy album with new and weird mixes on the album, for better and worse    … Expand

    "Guerolito" proves that remixes do not have to work solely for dance crossover: They can give a well-received album new legs among its original fans, too. [17 Dec 2005]

    It's a studio-geek jam session that, in terms of sonic inventiveness, nearly beats the DJ-savvy original. [16 Dec 2005, p.82]

    Even for an artist this venerable, a remix record is still a remix record-- generally uneven, part enlightening, and part skippable.
