People en Español: Los Lonely Boys have an impressive sound, on CD or in concert. Sound will never be a problem for this group, but although Forgiven is well executed technically, Los Lonely Boys have been doing the same song over and over for years. If you have listened to three of their songs, you have heard them all. This CD is no different. It’s the same usual rock/pop with a few Latin touches in the Santana style. It’s good that the group has a signature sound, but it doesn’t mean that it’s alright to make the same album time and again. Should Los Lonely Boys adventure to perform other genres, they will surely have an impact, as they did when they first came out, but Forgiven is a forgettable album. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español) Aquí tiene a un grupo que suena espectacular ya sea en disco o en concierto, ese nunca será su problema. Pero a pesar de que en Forgiven técnicamente está bien ejecutado Los Lonely Boys llevan años haciendo la misma canción una y otra vez, si ha escuchado tres canciones de ellos ya lo ha escuchado todo, este disco no es diferente, presenta el mismo rock pop de siempre con toquecitos latinos al estilo Santana. Es admirable que el grupo tenga un sonido que los caracteriza, pero eso no quiere decir que deban hacer el mismo disco una y otra vez. Si Los Lonely Boys se aventuraran a tocar otros géneros seguramente sorprenderían como lo hicieron cuando salieron originalmente. Es un disco muy olvidable. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español)
