Evidently someone at Sony International advised Gilberto Santa Rosa that what the Latin music world really needed was more heartfelt pop love songs -- and that's exactly what he made on the 2006 release Directo al Corazón, although the CD begins with the confident, mature salsa that made him the superstar he is. The majority of the playlist reveals a side of Santa Rosa, arguably one of the most credible salsa vocalists around, that most of his fan base never knew existed -- the side that lives and dies for keyboard-drenched balladry -- although Directo al Corazón is still peppered with the simmering grooves and skillful improvisation that are more typical of Santa Rosa's records. The production and musicianship throughout remain top drawer, and even Santa Rosa's vocal performance is at his usual high level. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide All Music Guide
