Momentos Intimos

Momentos Intimos is a compilation album by American singer Selena and released posthumously on March 23, 2004, through EMI Latin.

The album has received a mixed response from music critics, Ramiro Burr called it "another new collection", while a reporter from El Norte, believed fans of the singer would enjoy the release.

In 2017, Momentos Intimos was certified Gold (Latin) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting 30,000 units consisting of sales and on-demand streaming.

[14] The album contains 24 tracks, of which the last eight are spoken liner notes provided by Selena's family, friends, and her Los Dinos band members.

[15] Momentos Intimos contains songs ranging from Selena's Preciosa (1988) album to an unreleased demo track taped a few days before she died.

[17] The fifth song, "Buenos Amigos", is a duet with Salvadoran singer Álvaro Torres and was originally on his album Nada Se Compara Contigo (1991).

Writing for Newsday, Ira Robbins found the track's arrangement to be "slightly outdated" that masked any indications of Selena's Hispanic background.

[18] This was dramatized by Christian Serratos in the Netflix two-part limited drama Selena: The Series (2020–21), where the singer felt a sense of dissociation with the song.

Abraham told music critic Mario Taradell of The Dallas Morning News how the song was "too adult contemporary and we wanted to go with something more pop.

Writing for The Miami Herald, Tarradell described "Si Una Vez" as having a more traditional Tejano sound than the rest of the tracks on Amor Prohibido but found it to be riddled with synthesizers and digital processing.

[22] The thirteenth track, "No Me Queda Más", was penned by Vela, who had romantic inclinations toward the drummer of the group, Suzette, which he kept private from her.

"Puede Ser" remained unreleased until Pérez rediscovered the demo tape in October 2001 and provided a copy to Abraham for the family to listen to since they had not heard it since April 1995.

[30] In a recap of new releases for the week, Roel Jiménez of El Norte, called Momentos Intimos a tribute album, and believed fans of the singer would enjoy.

Momentos Intimos was the second best-selling regional Mexican debut album for the tracking week, behind Grupo Montez de Durango's En Vivo Desde Chicago.
