Hello! This is currently second on my "to review" list, and I will get to it in a couple days. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 03:46, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Some readers, such as myself, will not know that Romance consisted of non-original songs, so I would restructure the sentence to place that earlier.
Make the lead follow the structure of the article, so put information about singles after the part in the lead where you talk about composition but before the summary statements of commercial reception, etc.

Background and recording

Could you pick another free file of Perez? This one has letterboxes at the top and bottom that are a bit distracting.
In the first sentence, comma between "album" and "Romances".
Last sentence of the first paragraph here doesn't really work with the "Miguel said" located at the end. I would restructure the sentence like this: "He began working with the composers for the album a year before recording in a studio in 1992; in Miguel's words, he wanted to '[put the quote]'".
It should be "On August 24" not "in"
What is an "Anglo composer"?
Because there's no mention of what song's Perez wrote in this section, you should put a ref in the image caption.
Period after the only mention here of Kiko Cibrian.
Parallelism problem in the following sentence. To remedy this, I would remove "undergoing"
I assume this was translated, but the phrase "This album expresses my very personal way" does not make any sense to me.

Composition

Can you cut down the caption for the sound file here? It kind of dominates the section. I would recommend removing the part about the AllMusic review.
I would rephrase the first sentence to be "Aries is composed of ten tracks, six of which are romance-themed ballads."
Are "romance-themed" and "pop groove" direct quotes from someone? If so, whom?

Singles and promotion

I would say "The three music videos"
There is a typo where you spell "the" as "thye"

Commercial reception

Everything here pretty much looks fine, but I'm just wondering (this goes for the whole article)--one or both of you are fluent in Spanish, correct?

Critical reception

In the first sentence of the AllMusic review, it should be "and wrote that the ballads were..." not what is currently there.

References

What is currently ref 45 (this) does not open correctly.

@Erick:@Jaespinoza: That's all I have! You have both done some wonderful work on this article and I will be happy to pass once you fix these comments. Thanks! :) Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 21:02, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Johanna: Woah! I didn't know the GA review was already done. I'll get to it as soon as I can. I would suggest you would update the status to "on hold" so that a bot can notify the nominator on their talk page that a review has been done. Erick (talk) 02:31, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Johanna: May I request an extension until the end of this week? College has kept me busy, but I should be able to finish it before Sunday. Erick (talk) 18:26, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magiciandude: Certainly! I know that feeling. :) Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 19:41, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Johanna: Thanks for the review! I believe I have addressed everything that was brought up in the review. I cropped the photo of Rudy Perez because there isn't another free alternative available. Erick (talk) 04:26, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magiciandude: Wonderful! Pass. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 14:12, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
