“They are a national treasure.” - Mother Jones

"Los Lobos makes almost all other bands look like novelty acts." - Marc Maron

“Pin Ups en Espanol: East LA’s greatest dance band hosts a ‘covers’ party. 4 Stars” - Mojo

"The adventurous song selections make the album a celebration of diversity, and a showcase for Los Lobos' marvelous versatility... It's true roots music." - The Associated Press

”It's essential listening from one of America's greatest bands." - AllMusic

"Even when they're playing songs from other artists, Los Lobos sound like no other band." - Pitchfork

"...What’s here is consistently inspirational." 4 out of 5 Stars - American Songwriter

“Mainstays on the LA scene since the early 1970s, the band showcase their wide range on this imaginative and timely covers album…” 8 out of 10 Stars - Uncut Magazine

"A diverse tribute to Los Lobos' Angelino roots and its melting pot of sounds, the group's 17th full-length release is an impressive attempt to bring some geographical and cultural context to one of rock's most trailblazing and idiosyncratic bands." - Magnet Magazine

"...Native Sons provides a snapshot into the soundtrack of their East L.A. youth. It also serves as an ideal showcase for the genre-defying sonic palette that makes Los Lobos one of the all-time great American roots-rock bands." - No Depression

"Decades old or newly drafted, cover or original, once in the hands and voices of these five, the music becomes property of the wolves." - Relix Magazine

"...Every now and then, a band stumbles across a creative and inspired idea and through flawless execution makes a tribute record worth paying attention to (think Harry Nilsson’s Nilsson Sings Newman or Willie Nelson’s To Lefty From Willie). Add Los Lobos to that small, but stellar list." - Glide Magazine

"This mind-blowing collection of songs associated with the City of Angels is a clarion's call of greatness... Los Lobos became a cultural institution years ago, but it’s best never to forget that they will always remain an aggregation that can burn down a bandstand on a moment’s notice, and point the way forward where music might go. The wolves thrive." - Americana Highways

"Long may they run." - The Big Takeover
