Paste Magazine
The innocent appeal of Milagros’ tiny voice, though, is universal. And so is Aterciopelados’ music, which transcends all language barriers.

All Music Guide
Not only are each of the songs on Río unique; they're all impressive, adding up to a complete full-length album experience filled with highlights.

Billboard
The miracle of Aterciopelados is that it backs up its message songs with beautiful, infectious music. The Colombian duo's latest, Rio, is no exception

The New York Times
Reflective but never dour, and serious about staying hopeful, Aterciopelados proposes “a bombardment of love/attack of laughter/invasion of smiles.”

Rolling Stone
Girl's got flow, like Rio itself.

Spin
Singing en español, clear-voiced Andrea Echeverri ponders subjects like immigration ('Bandera') and pregnancy ('28'), projecting unflappable confidence.

Blender
While their new album never thrashes, it at least keeps its pretty bare feet on Mother Earth.
