Review
A recording like this will probably be overlooked today, though not tomorrow. The greatness of the groove, the explosion of the Puerto Rican/New York style so late in the day will be appreciated in historical terms - you know, a work of genius after the genre had flowered. Going to be hard to bump this from 08s top ten list. --Peter Watrous (Descarga.com)

Review
Hot Bread brings Pulpo together with an amazing ensemble of players, creating vivid colors and shapes, while exploring rhythmic possibilities within the boundaries of Latin Jazz and Afro-Caribbean music. --Rudy Mangual (Editor-in-Chief, Latin Beat Magazine)

Review
Gilberto Pulpo Colón Jr. was one of the key figures in Héctor Lavoe's band who has blessed us with what undoubtedly will be a contender for album of the year. This Latin Jazz/Descarga extravaganza demonstrates that we don't have to rely on the past to hear good music. --Omar Walker (SalsaPower.com)
