...The deliriously happy beat of his earlier records is intact, ì but Joe has turned his lyrical hand to South and Central America, ì where he's been spending a lot of time. Instead of cheery ì ditties about partying, he's writing cheery ditties about such ì south-of-the-border notables as Nicaraguan patriot Sandino, ì Mexican outlaw nationalists Juarez and Zapata, and a range of ì current popular sentiments he's observed south of the border.... ì It's still a rock record, but with heavy overtones of Tex-Mex ì conjunto, Columbian vallenata, and even Nicaraguan disco that ì make 'Bandido Rock' more substantial musically and ultimately a ì lot more fun to throw on the box time after time.' --Tom Smith, ì in The Record Roundup
