What The Critics Say
Crown prince of the New York sound, Tito Nieves continues to define himself as the most contemporary, modern voice in salsa. At a time when most other salseros with credibility tend to play their cards close to the chest, hoping to retain their purist fan base, Nieves shrugs his shoulders and says, "Reggaeton? Why not?" While Gilberto Santa Rosa and Oscar d'León stay safely inside the walls of salsa as usual, Nieves invited artists like Fat Joe and Miguel Play to collaborate on his anything but safe release Hoy, Manana y Siempre. The ubiquitous Sergio George and famed Jorge Luis Piloto also weigh in as producers/arrangers for the ambitiously titled project. As could be expected, the straight-ahead salsa tracks, which hark back to Nieves' days with salsa legend Hector Lavoe, are joyous and rich. His vocals are as thick and tuneful, ever earning his nickname, the Pavarotti of Salsa. Though a bold move for a salsa artist, Nieves' collaboration with Fat Joe, "Terremoto," is underwhelming. It seems to have nothing at all to do with Nieves and everything to do with marketing. The second attempt at reaching new blood, "Si Yo Fuera El" proves much more fruitful, finding an excellent balance between stripped-down reggaeton aesthetics while still capitalizing on Nieves' vocals. Dedicated fans will be pleased and new disciples won over thanks to this daring, intelligent effort. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
Surprisingly good selections are the core of this hits package by the Lideres label. Most of the tunes are recommendable ("Almohada," "Sonámbulo," "Desde Que Te Tengo a Tí"), but RMM's Serie Cristal greatest hits series still leads the pack as far as hits collection is concerned; for completists only. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Tito Nieves' first effort for WEA Latina retains the same flavor as his previous efforts with RMM. Nevertheless, producer/arranger Sergio George maintains the fever pitch that grants him considerable public preference. "Un Amor Así" and "Como Llegó a Tu Amor" (with Rubén Blades) are the standouts. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Tito Nieves' final RMM album is a departure from his decade-long label with empresario Ralph Mercado; it has the enjoyable flair that makes his productions quite listenable. The title tune, "Mía," and "Tu Te lo Pierdes" are the standouts on this, a gracious exit from a successful association. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
This is Tito Nieves' next-to-last RMM effort. Tito Nieves' powerful voice is used to full advantage, practicing the formula that has always worked for him: romantic salsa with additional English-language tunes. "Mas," "Permíteme Darte un Beso," and "To Be With You" (recorded by Jimmy Sabater in 1967) are pretty enjoyable. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide
