Style
Compared with the albums Clandestino and Próxima Estación: Esperanza La Radio Lina focuses more on the punk -influenced style of band Mano Negra chaos. The use of certain sound effects on several albums, a typical stylistic feature of chaos solo albums is, however, continued. Likewise, elements of some songs, such as certain riffs, taken up again in other pieces.
Reception
The high expectations could meet only partially the album. So criticized Jon Lusk from the BBC, the song worked despite the six years since the Próxima Estación: Esperanza were passed, unfinished. ( The 2004 released album Sibérie m'était contéee appeared only in small numbers and did not achieve great fame ) Similarly, Joe Tangari expressed on Pitchfork Media, but stressed the album nevertheless consider including a lot of great songs.
