Critical reception
In his review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann notes that even though "the original Broadway cast album of [the musical] has yet to be bettered, in part because it continues to seem a definitive treatment of the score", "[the new] version is also very good and offers some slight differences to recommend it." He also commends Esparza and "the other 13 performers" for "sing[ing] emotionally and well".
