"As admirable as it may be as an art project, Los Ángeles is all about Rosalía's voice. No two ways about it: She is exceptional. No familiarity with the genre is required; her instrument is a tornado capable of sweeping away any cultural or language barriers. Even more remarkably, she does not accomplish this with sheer volume or vocal histrionics, but by reaching almost unbearable levels of intensity and expression. Universally hailed in Spain as one of 2017's best albums, Los Ángeles is a stellar debut that signals the appearance of a major talent in both the flamenco and the world music scene".

"Hendes fine debutalbum "Los ángeles" (...) var (...) traditionalistisk - men ikke kun - og bød på fortolkninger af folklore med døden som tema. Hun [synger] en bred vifte af cante, altså en varieret række af flamencosange. Akkurat som en ortodoks flamencosanger ville debutere. Men Rosalía gik videre end dét og bevægede sig mod eksperimental pop og gav sangene nye titler i stedet for de hævdvundne. Modtagelsen var blandet. Nogle kritikere råbte op om en ny æra i flamenco, andre sagde, at det dårligt nok var flamenco og i hvert fald ikke tilføjede traditionen noget".
