"Beat Girls Español! 1960s She-Pop From Spain is the latest instalment in the long-running and successful Beat Girls series, which is curated by Mick Patrick. Previously, the series has focused on girl singers and girl groups for England, France, Italy, Japan and Sweden. This time though, Mick Patrick turns his attention to the Spanish yé-yé girls and girl groups ... These hidden gems rub shoulders on Beat Girls Español! 1960s She-Pop From Spain with hits, near misses, rarities and oft-overlooked songs. The result is another carefully curated and welcome addition to the Beat Girls' series".

"Don't siesta on this one ... If there's one thing that's for sure, it is that Ace Records know how to put together a girl-pop compilation. Having turned their hand to a myriad of French, Swedish and Japanese collections, this time the focus is on Spain - and it is an absolute delight ... There's a real variety of styles here, but what is consistent is that these Spanish girls and their backing musicians pack an absolute punch. And if you don't find yourself shimmying to at least half of these songs then you need to take a long look at yourself".

"Peerless guide to Spanish she-pop and yé-yé ... Yé-yé usually associated with France but the Spanish had their own, every bit as exquisite, version".
