Newsday wrote that Camilo's "classical-jazz-Latin synthesis is one of the more avant-garde statements by a contemporary pianist... Rather than simply pumping up jazz tunes with Latin rhythmic structures, he speaks in several musical languages at once, prefiguring a multicultural future."[5] The Globe and Mail noted that "as impressive a pianist as Camilo clearly is, he startles not by what he plays, but by how: chop, chop, chop—quick, clean and on the flashy side of frantic."[6]
