Spin (8/01, p.138) - 8 out of 10 - "...Future-gazing with gusto...showcasing his savage side....neurotic pomo gusto, crossfading from big-band splendor to surf-guitar riffing to hip-hop mixology..."
Q (6/01, p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A hugely rewarding adventure, blending Hammond-friendly dub effects, jaw-dropping strings and Manuel Galvan's extraordinary spaced-out guitar with the coolest and slinkiest set of Latin jazz rhythms..."
The Wire (5/01, p.73) - "...Lopez is recorded dry and heavy, and pushed right to the front pf the mix....The rhythms are Channel One-era mid-tempo and sounds like it has been lifted from a Scientist album."
CMJ (6/4/01, p.27) - "...mirrors some BVSC arrangements, but overall [Lopez] favors a darker, harder-edged sound..."
Down Beat (10/01, p.62) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...Delves deep into the bassist's amoury, crossing musical boundaries and utilizing sophisticated technology....there are enough ideas on this ambitious offering to fuel several albums."
Mojo (Publisher) (5/01, p.110) - "...It's fresher and far more contemporary....CACHAITO is filled with descargas, jams that allow the musicians to express their empathy without restrictions..."
