Q (11/99, p.139) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...focuses on the rich fusion of the Caribbean, with its blend of African and European influences. The most substantial tracks include the velvety roots reggae of Don Carlos & Gold with 'Movin To The Top' [and] Belize artist Andy Palacio's fierce yet plaintive punta rock song 'Nabi'..."
CMJ (7/19/99, p.31) - "...an enticing selection for the serious Caribbean music buff."
Dirty Linen (12/99-1/00, pp.81-2) - "...a big tropical bouquet of songs and artists from lesser-heard-from islands such as Aruba, Curacao, and Anguilla....all immensely danceable. Chalk another one up in the win column for Putumayo."
