Written by an independent 3rd party reviewer:

I consider "A Medio Vivir" to be one of Ricky Martin's two best CDs (the other one being the superb "Vuelve"). This CD of Latin pop contains many well-crafted songs, all performed with skill and enthusiasm by the versatile Martin. He can play it smooth or belt it out like a true male diva--whatever the song calls for. All of the lyrics are in Spanish.

As a whole, the songs on "A Medio Vivir" are a diverse bunch. "Corazon" has a disco feel, and "Revolucion" has an edgier rock sound. "Bombom de Azucar" has delightfully playful rhythms and lyrics. "Maria" is the most obviously Latin of the songs, with its strongly percussive instrumentation and overall tropical flavor. Ricky's performances are especially strong on the emotional ballads: "Volveras," "Te Extrano," and "Fuego de Noche."

"A Medio Vivir" is an essential disc for fans of Latin pop. And those who are only familiar with Ricky's English-language work should definitely check out this disc. His energy transcends language barriers.
