Tito Allen Albums (6)
What The Critics Say
Tito Allen's solo debut puts his great vocal skills to the max, with good material and Louie Ramirez and Louie Cruz' arrangements. However, subsequent material in future releases would certainly do more for Allen. Watch out for the swinging "Festival de Soneros."" ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Tito Allen brings great versatility in his assorted repertoire, and it comes with great ease and agility. This Louie Ramirez production brings together old classics like Tito Puente's "Mi Chiquita Quiere Bembé" and Tito Rodriguez' "Voy a Perder la Cabeza" and turns in fresh, new versions with Allen's smooth vocals. The mainstream hit was "Por Eso." Great material with peerless Allen giving it an extra kick. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
This is Tito Allen's fifth LP for Alegre Records, which turned out to be one of his most accomplished, although it went quite under-promoted. The late '70s were showing signs of wear and tear in the genre, whereas there was a rise in the merengue craze. Nevertheless, projects like this were available and always ready for multiple listenings. This album contains plenty of good material, including the better-promoted "El Embajador," a second version of Willie Rosario's 1963 classic "Dame Tu Amor, Morenita," the classic "Estoy Como Nunca" (by Don Raymat), and "Manolín" (composed by Allen, dedicated to the late, great DJ Manolín Martínez). Highly recommended, with arrangements by Louie Ramírez, José Madera, Paquito Pastor, Sonny Bravo, René Bloch, and Tito Puente. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
This swinging recording is Tito Allen at his best, mastering assorted genres (bolero, bomba, ballad, danzon) with great ability. Tito Allen's sense of diction, clarity, improvising ability, and overall musical sensitivity makes this a winner. A must! The mainstream hit "Por Eso" is included. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
Tito Allen comes up with his best album in years, as the vocalist maintains the polish, clear tone, and enunciation after all these years, with a swinging repertoire to boot. Titti Soto's "Que Se Sepa" was the best promoted tune, but "Junto a Tí" and "Bolero" deserve special mention. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
