Street-smart and lyrical, impassioned and reflective ... a rich and provocative book
The New York Times
By turns street-smart and lyrical, impassioned and reflective, <i>The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love </i>is a rich and provocative book--a moving portrait of a man, his family, a community and a time
- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
The book is a hymn to music, to heterosexual love... There is a hedonism and pain, ecstasy and despair, devotion and lechery.... A fantastic novel
Evening Standard
