The operatic majesty of ranchero king Vicente Fernández's voice is fully intact here, three decades into his career. The arrangements always complement his passionate delivery, whether it's the sighing strings on the title track, or the gently throbbing percussion on "Nuestro Juramento," a slow-burning ballad pledging a love that will endure after death. Closing the album is a live version of "Perdón" where he duets with his son Alejandro, whose voice proves a dead ringer for dad's; their close harmonies soar in a dramatic slow tempo.
