"[...] while listening to such a well achieved album as this one, one can’t help but think that each song could be a single […] there a lot of reasons to predict a promising future for these musicians, […] their project is sincere and unpretentious.”

(by Rodrigo Rangel) - Bolten Inc. Blog

“…they seem harmless at first sight, but they are probably the most lethal music team of our country.[…] they came to renew the Mexican rock scene, that had been hijacked for decades, with a direct and noisy punk well lead by two intertwined voices […] it cuts to the chase and doesn’t pretend to be punk: it is punk.”

(by Pam Hernandez) - Noisy Magazine

“Candy’s first album: addictive. A flawless and mature product with the musical quality of any New Yorker/English band which, at this moment, is saving the music. […] We have our new heroes in Mexico: three strangers who want to take us out to party”

With the delicate-turned-noisy single “Atlas”, the Mexican quartet Candy announce their upcoming third album of the same in the best possible way: intriguing, disorienting, and leaving us wanting more. - Beehype

While they still defy categorization, the song [Tres Segundos] does without the grit that has characterized some of their best moments, at least until the final stretch. They still practice their energetic brand of power pop with electronic tints. Above all is catchy as they come. – Remezcla - Remezcla

It’s hard to find a band these days that just plain rocks. Usually, we encounter artists more concerned with belonging to a certain scene and sound, leaving stuff like songwriting to the side in order to play what’s in. Thankfully, there are still people who care, like Mexico City’s own Candy. […] The band’s sound can be described as a mixture of gritty rock and luminescent pop melodies, all in the same song. They care about what matters most: writing good songs and rocking out. - Remezcla
