"Best New Music" - "The singer-songwriter's latest album is steeped in Caribbean texts that have influenced her musicianship. In its shades of love and grief, it sounds like life as it arrives".

"As an artist who performs in half a dozen styles, it doesn't need to be said that Rubinos is not a hispanic artist, but simply an artist, plain and simple. Yet she does say so, beautifully, on "Don't Put Me In Red". Based on her experience at shows, when lighting engineers would hear her name and automatically light the stage in red without thinking to ask her first, the ballad is a pained and heartfelt rejection of the box others have tried to put her in. Una Rosa is a testament to that. She didn't make a record expected of her even by fans of her last LP and, in doing so, has produced something which is strange, chaotic and utterly her own".

"A musician who has defied easy description or anything approaching pastiche from the beginning of her recording career, even when taking on a cover, Xenia Rubinos expands her sound even more on her elaborate third album, Una Rosa. Arriving five years after 2016's Black Terry Cat, it relies more on electronic elements, Caribbean rhythms including rhumba, and spoken and Spanish-language lyrics, just for starters".
