The album is considered by some music critics to be Carlos Santana's greatest work, winning numerous Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. It has also, however, been criticized for its pop sheen and unusually heavy reliance on guest musicians. On the other hand, Carlos Santana co-wrote on half of the tracks and produced several of them as well.

The album was phenomenally successful, eventually selling over 15 million copies; it is generally seen to have revived Santana's dormant career. It included the hit single "Smooth", which featured matchbox twenty singer Rob Thomas on vocals, and was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks. The follow-up single, "Maria Maria" (which featured Wyclef Jean), was #1 on the same chart for 10 weeks.
