In some ways this story is as old as the movies, but "The Mambo Kings" is so filled with energy, passion and heedless vitality that it seems new, anyway.

Another award worthy performance by Armand Assante that wasn't recognized. And a great song.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Glimcher's movie knows how to let down its hair and live for the night.

HOT! HOT! HOT!
Moviehole
A spirited evocation of the mambo craze which swept post-war America, adapted from Oscar Hijuelos' Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

Rating: 2/5 --
It's as if there were a terrible telephone connection between the film's vivid sound track and its tepid romantic melodrama, to which the music is supposed to give style and substance.
New York Times
It is always maddening watching musical 'geniuses' in the cinema when their visibly incompetent efforts bear no relation to what you hear.
