Critical Reception
The album debuted at #4 on Billboard Latin Albums, #2 on Billboard Latin Pop and #1 in Puerto Rico Album Charts with sales of 3,000 units (nearly all in album sales). The album was included in Billboard Magazine's "The 50 Best Albums of 2018 so far" list.[5]
The place of the Latin singer-songwriter, or cantautor, in contemporary Latin music has become somewhat diminished since reggaeton and urban music took over. Enter García, whose new album makes zero concessions to anything that’s not her own brand of music (Residente collab “Banana-Papaya” notwithstanding). With the front-and-center vocals, lush acoustic arrangements, and intimate lyrics, Soy Yo reminds us of the depth to be found in the well of Latin music
