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. He noted that Martin is better off singing in his native tongue, where his vocals seem more natural and less contrived. Jose F. Promis from AllMusic called it a sizzling track.
