Critical reception
Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine wrote that adding a Spanish-language original song "Cambia la Piel" to Sound Loaded was a good idea.[4] He noted that Martin is better off singing in his native tongue, where his vocals seem more natural and less contrived.[4] Jose F. Promis from AllMusic called it a sizzling track.[5]
