The debut effort from stylishly scruffy trio Camila has all the elements of a Latin-pop smash: slick production, sensitive-guy lyrics and choruses designed for arena sing-alongs. It's a glossy, gorgeous package that should incite some serious girl-swooning. Such careful planning, however, leaves little room for genuine excitement. The carefully coiffed threesome veers from pseudo-falsetto stylings to earnest intensity among 12 tracks, including "Abrazame" and "Va Para Ti." It all goes down easy, but none of it makes much of an impact. Only "Sin Tu Amor" manages to generate some real sparkle. English-language track "U Got My Love" hints at a crossover possibility but plays like the B-side to a late '90s Enrique Iglesias hit. --Joey Guerra
I usually don't do this - type up reviews, but this CD is worth taking the time to rave about and going out and purchasing! It is worth every single dollar!!! You can listen to it over and over and over and not get tired of it. Beautiful lyrics, great music, an overall hit! I have officially become a CAMILA fan!!!

When I first heard "abrazame" i laughed because it sounded like girls singing softly...but anyways i liked the song, and when I downloaded it, I also downloaded "Coleccionista de canciones" Wow that song really shocked me since I first heard it! Beautiful lyrics! Then, I decided to download the whole album, WOW, is the only thing I can say...beautiful songs like Sin tu amor, Me basto, Todo cambio,Me da igual, and my personal favorite, perderte de nuevo, show a group that can really sing. Lovely lyrics in those songs. In "va para ti" you hear a very rock but cool Camila. The songs that I think are no that great are No quiero, u got my love and nanga ti feo, the rest are all future radio hitss!!! I was really surprise with this group, and I am now a big Fan.

This album has a lot of really great tunes. My favorites are "Sin Tu Amor", "Perderte de Nuevo", "Todo Cambió" and, of course, "Colectionista de Canciónes." Their faster songs are good, too, but they are so much better at ballads.
Overall, Camila rocks.
