Background and content

edit

In 2008, Luis Miguel released his 18th studio album, Cómplices, which he co-produced with Spanish musician Manuel Alejandro with the latter composing and arranging all of its tracks.[1] Although Luis Miguel's decision to collaborate with Manuel Alejandro was praised, the album was met with mixed reactions from music critics who found its musical style too similar to the artist's previous pop records.[1][2] On 24 August 2009, it was announced that Luis Miguel would release a remix album titled No Culpes a la Noche and that it would be released on 22 September 2009.[3] According to a spokesperson from Luis Miguel's record label Warner Music Mexico: "We did it thinking that it would be a purely 'anterior' material, so that it would play in all the bars, in the clubs, so that it would set the beat and people would get hooked on these new releases".[4]

No Culpes a la Noche contains ten remixes of previously recorded songs.[5] Several disc jockeys (DJs) who worked on the remixes include Hex Hector ("Cómo Es Posible Que a Mi Lado", "Será Que No Me Amas", and "Te Propongo Esta Noche"),[4][6] Dario Gomez & Vlad Diaz ("Eres" and "Suave"), and Danny Saber ("Sol, Arena y Mar"). Danny Saber previously remixed three versions of "Sol, Arena y Mar" on the song's release in 1999.[7] The Hex Hector remix of "Tu Imaginación" was originally released as a digital download for the special edition of Cómplices in 2009.[8] The remix of "Será Que No Me Amas" was released as the lead promotional single from the album.[6]

Reception

edit

Writing a positive review for AllMusic, Dave Shim felt No Culpes a la Noche "marries the singer’s prodigious talent for song with bumping club grooves" and noted that "[w]hile the beats are far from cutting-edge, mining familiar Latin house and filter house styles from the late-‘90s, they’re largely unobtrusive and frame Miguel’s persuasive vocals nicely".[5] Vida en el Valle critic Olivia Ruiz rated the disc three stars out of five complimenting "Suave" and "Será Que No Me Amas" as stand outs, but criticized the song selections as "not the best one" and lamented the exclusion of Luis Miguel's more popular hits like "La Incondicional". Overall, Ruiz stated it is "definitely ideal for your next party".[9] Tommy Calle of the Los Angeles Times gave the record a negative review and regarded the tracks as "monotonous and difficult to differentiate between track to track".[10] Gerardo González V, who also gave it an unfavorable review, remarked that the disc was "made with little ambition and a lot of laziness".[11]

Commercially, it reached number three in Mexico where it was certified Platinum and Gold for shipping over 90,000 copies, while in Spain it peaked at number 11.[12][13] In the US, it peaked at number 180 on the Billboard 200 chart as well as numbers ten, four, and two on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums, Top Latin Albums, and Latin Pop Albums charts, respectively.[14][15][16][17] Within its first day of release, the album sold over 200,000 copies.[18]
