.

In a similar manner of the previous one, the album is mostly composed of re-makes of some classic songs with only 3 new songs amongst them a cover.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Pemberton Roach awarded the album 3 stars stating "The album features re-recorded versions of older songs, a couple of brand new tunes. Vintage tunes such as "El Sonido Joven de America" and "Contrabando de Amor," in particular, benefit from fuller production and more relaxed ensemble playing -- in both cases the manic ska-punk energy is toned down a bit, but the new approach gives the tracks a more solid, danceable vibe... While perhaps not as essential a release as many of the group's older albums, El Arte de La Elegancia de LFC was a welcome return to form.".
