"[Drexler] chose Colombia for his 14th studio album rather than his traditional Spain. The locale is reflected in many of the rhythms populating these 11 songs, from cumbias to vallenatos to cascaras. Co-produced with Carlos Campón and Sebastián Merlín, this music contains the same attention to detail and polish as every album he's released since 2004's Eco, but the charts feel looser and there's less reliance on fat or synthetic beats (...) - the feel is more organic ... Now in his 50th year, Drexler shows no sign of slowing down. Though Bailar en la Cueva may be easy to listen to, it is one of his most musically mercurial efforts; one that defies compartmentalization even by his own adventurous standards. Bravo".

"Bailar En La Cueva exhibits the socially acute vulnerability and killer groove aptitude running through Drexler's work, whose quirky human insights and vivid production sensibilities place him well outside the jejune Latin pop formulary ... Non-Spanish speakers may be at a disadvantage, but if the listener detects an essence of, say, Silvio Rodriguez, Carlos Vives, Ruben Blades, Paul Simon, or John Lennon, rather than derivative, it's a bittersweet measure of the compassionate spirit that attends the best of our contemporary cultural commentators".
