A Medio Vivir is Ricky Martin's stylistic leap from the swoony crooning of Me Amaras toward Top 40 stardom. While still an essentially romantic recording, this collection dips into rock, gospel, and Latin soul, forming the foundation of the artist's meteoric rise on the charts. Beginning with the sound of ocean waves, A Media Vivir gets going strong with the wailing sax, chorded piano, and gospel-choir backing on the superlative title cut through to the electrified rock of "Bombom de Azucar." Martin's vocals by this point have become more expressive, bombastic, and, handily, manly--the mother of all romance languages catching in his throat in a strangely appealing fashion. Adventurous in its genre hopping, Vivir is uneven, but a welcome departure and expansion from his days of Menudo and languid Latin love songs and a harbinger of what's to come. And if Martin busting a move in the midst of a ring of fire on national television is the listener's speed, then A Media Vivir in all its ragged enthusiasm is just the thing. --Paige La Grone

 Good only for his spanish speaking fans November 7, 2009
Kevin Nazario Bartolomei (Ponce, Puerto Rico)
i believe this was ricky's third spanish album, and is about the same as the others, romantic ballads and radio friendly pop. i didn't like it.

This album has great ballads but the fast songs sound cheesy and dated at times.
 My favorite Ricky Martin, with hint of future greatness November 10, 2004

Ricky's best album is (arguably) still his 1999 (US) "Ricky Martin" with its hit "Livin La Vida Loca", but this one is still my favorite. Ricy's rich voice soars on tracks such as Te Extraño, Te Olvido, Te Amo and leaves us wanting more with every note. A fine actor as well as a singer, Ricky sang this song on "General Hospital" and had me gasping. Gloria Estefan helped bring Latino pop into the mainstream, but I believe that it's Ricky who will take it to its highest success. Highly recommend this album for any Latin music fan, Ricky Martin fan, or anyone who wants to listen to true romance. Also check out his 1991 "Ricky Martin" album
great! December 1, 2003

muy buen disco. si eres fan de ricky martin tienes que comprar el cd "aprendiendo a querer" de jessica cristina, donde ricky grabo con jessica el tema "todo es vida". este tema es el primer duo de ricky en su carrera musical y fue grabado en 1992. 10 stars for "a medio vivir" by ricky martin.

I bought A Medio Vivir on August 6 2003 because I heard about 2 months ago Fuego De Noche' Nieve De Dia and I instintely feel in love with that song. I also saw the video because I have spaniah videos on my tv box. Thats how I heard the song. The whole cd is super fanstic cd!!!!!. I had heard five songs befor I bought the cd. One is Maria which I did not know he had an original version of that song. I thought there was only one version. The other song is Bombom De Azucar which I have by Charlie Cruz. Another is of course the very very betiful song I metioned befor Fuego De Noche' Nieve De Dia. Another is A Medio Vivir and last but lest is Te Extrano. Te Olvido' Te Amo. The other song are very nice too. I love the cd even though I do not speak a lot of spanish but I understand it alot. Ricky Mattain's A Medio Vivir gets 5 stars. Wonderful cd!!!!! Thanks.
