"Graciela's newest album takes the banda genre into new territory. On this CD, her band adds new instruments to their ensemble, while softening the banda sound. Three pop-cumbia tracks spice up the album: "Sin Mirar Atras," "Sonando Contigo," and "Amarte Es Mi Destino." These songs rival the biggest hits of comparable stars, such as Selena and Grupo Limite. "Que Te Vaya Bien" is an emotional ballad that is sure to catch attention. Both versions of "Se Me Notan Tus Besos" have received considerable airplay here in Phoenix. The ballad version was number 14 on the countdown last week. And that song is one of the most mediocre on an album that is sure to change the banda sound forever."

I LOVE this album!!!

"La Reina Del Pueblo, Graciela's newest album is a banda style album, her signature style. well, i'm very happy to say, that this time, unlike her really old hits like "La Pochita De Sinaloa" and "Morena y Delgadita", this is a very soft banda sound, not alot of loud or blaring instruments. This album is very similar to her 1996 release, "Mi Corazon Es Tuyo", a wonderful album as well. her voice is lighter this time, yet still as strong, but with a more delicate, airy touch. One of my favorite songs on here was "Sin Mirar Atras". the chorus was great!! it has a slight salsa undertone to it! something completely new! the whole album is fabulous, and Graciela continues to be my favorite singer in the world."
