So here we are, four years later, and the long-awaited Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 strikes a nice balance between Shakira’s more straightforward earlier sound and the bluster of her big crossover hits.

Rolling Stone
For her first album of new Spanish-language material since 1998’s Donde Estan los Ladrones?, the Colombian songstress flaunts sides to her musical personality repressed by the hip-swiveling babe who stormed American radio with “Whenever, Wherever” and “Underneath Your Clothes.”

The Guardian
Lest this mean that any of us fail to grasp the point, Shakira helpfully explains that the title means "oral fixation" and the songs document emotions expressed with her mouth.

ALL MUSIC
Despite the surface sheen, Fijacion Oral is proudly a Latin pop record, and it conforms to the conventions of its genre, alternating between melodramatic ballads and insistent dance tunes, sometimes working a sleek bossa nova number into the equation for good measure (the terrific "Obtener un Sí," which sounds like it could have been a big hit in the late '60s).

POP MATTERS
Fijación Oral is a very good Latin pop album. To say that I'm looking forward to Oral Fixation is a massive understatement.

Shakira is more mature on her latest releases and much of the work deals with life, love, and relationships.
