Album Description
Import pressing of J-Lo's 2007 Spanish language album features two additional bonus tracks: 'Quien Sera' and 'Que Hiciste'. Como Ama Una Mujer (The Way a Woman Loves) is her first full Spanish-language album and features a collection of "big ballads" written and produced by Estéfano, who had previously produced the Grammy-nominated Spanish-language album Amar Sin Mentiras for Marc Anthony. Epic.

Through the course of Como Ama Una Mujer, the first full-blown collection of Spanish-language tunes from multicultural diva Jennifer Lopez, we keep waiting for it to happen. A sweltering, hands-in-the-air dance anthem--the kind that made Lopez a superstar. Alas, the club beats never materialize: not even a soul-diva shimmy. The closest Lopez comes to is midtempo first single "Que Hiciste." (Seek out the pulsing, reggaeton-flavored remix for maximum dance floor fabulousness.) What we get here is a surprisingly solid collection of elegant ballads and rock-flavored tunes that showcase new vocal strengths and surprising lyrical maturity. Producers Marc Anthony, Estefano and Julio Reyes give Lopez the gloss without overpowing her, a key element to the disc's success. La Lopez recycles one track from 2005's Rebirth, "(Can't Believe) This Is Me," which pops up here as the superior "Porque te Marchas." The disc's second half is a sweeping, often gorgeous, stream of romantic consciousness, starting with the lovely "Tu" and gliding through the gently chugging "Sola." And the beautiful closing track "Adios" is a standout, pairing Lopez's lilting vocals with a gentle string arrangement and a rousing chorus of voices. A sterling achievement from a diva whose talent is just beginning to blossom. --Joey Guerra

A review from a non-spanish speaker who doesn't have a clue what she's singing
Wow! Some of these reviews are harsh. I speak Mandarin and English, I took high school Spanish for a year, I understand about a word here or there from her songs.
That being said, I know good music when I hear it. For an artist to make me like to her Spanish album is certainly no easy feat. No, I can't tell if her spanish is strained or unnatural sounding, but I can tell tell what shes singing sounds good and the music and beats are not bad either. I can't tell if the contents of her lyrics are worthy of a grammy, but from the lyrical translations I found, they don't seem that bad. Nearly all the songs on this album are worth listening to as well (definitely a rarity these days).
Anyway, I just had to write this review. Sometimes music just sounds good. Maybe it's not 5 star perfect, but sorry, I just had to give 5 stars for those of who giving 1 stars as if this album is trash.
A new side of J.Lo's music
I bought this album precisely for the reason many other reviewers have panned it. No, it's not a rehashing of "Waiting for Tonight" or "If You Had My Love." Yes, most of the songs are ballads. So what? It's called TRYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I personally do not need to be barraged with more J.Lo. dance cuts. The title of the album is "How a Woman Loves" not "How a Woman Dances" and this is for good reason. "Tú," "Apresúrte," "Amarte es Todo" and "Adiós" are my favorite songs not only for their catchy melodies, but because Lopez has allowed her voice to be front-and-center more than ever before. Sure, the canned audience in "Adiós" is a little bit cheesy, but the song is intended to evoke a sense of yearning and camaraderie so it actually fits within the context of the song.
Most pop artists are damned if they do and damned if they don't -- people either hate them for doing the same thing over and over or hate them for trying something new. It's always better to err on the side of innovation.
Beautiful
OK i am going to keep this short unlike most of you guy's here who talk too much lol. This is such a nice album. The lyrics are beautiful and Jennifer sings so nicely. I just love it ... My opinion if you want to buy it, buy it and give it a try remember just because someone else didn't like it doesn't mean you won't and one more thing don't compare beyonce to jennifer or jennifer to beyonce.
