""Mi Corazon es Tuyo" is a treat from beginning to end. The quality of Beltran's voice is impeccable on this disc, and the music is enchanting. The album is most notable for three bolero-flavored ballads: "Paloma Triste" is an emotive song that has proved to wear well with time (this CD came out four years ago, and the song still receives considerable airplay). "El Amor de mi Vida" and "Este Diciembre" are the other gems on this production. The tenderness of Beltran's voice works well with fast-paced cumbias as well, as demonstrated on the title track and "Ya No." This album reflects a period in which Beltran's sound was quickly maturing, as was her image. As evidenced by the album cover, no one knows how to make the the banda look quite as elegant as Beltran."
