They may not be hip, but they're part of the family tradition, and when he sticks to them, he's as good as ever." Lauren Murphy from Entertainment.ie criticized the songs, writing: "Every track here is either a sombre, mumbled, slow-moving number that sounds dated and cumbersome, cheesy radio-friendly dirges that have been done a million times before and better or are just so amateur-sounding that they're embarrassing." Jonathan Bernstein from Entertainment Weekly wrote "Insomniac sees Iglesias possessed by the vengeful spirit of Toad the Wet Sprocket ("Stay Here Tonight"), outshone by Lil Wayne on the plodding club banger Push, and, yes, upstaged by a sampled Ping-Pong ball on Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)." What works on this slick, snazzy makeover is what always works for him: the ballads and the middle-of-the-road pop tunes. Sometimes, he pushes too hard in either direction, but sometimes Iglesias strikes the right balance between crossover pop and stylish retro-new wave production. But Enrique is too much of a crossover guy to spend the entire album doing the nasty.

Critical reception Professional ratings Review scoresĪllmusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave to the album 2.5 out of 5 stars, writing: "'Insomniac' is pushed to a younger audience. There is also a cover of indie pop band Ringside's "Tired of Being Sorry". The first single, "Do You Know", has become known as the "ping pong song" because of its stand-out beat. It features a song titled "Miss You", which he has dedicated to his girlfriend, former tennis star Anna Kournikova, as well as a track, "Push", which he performs with rapper Lil' Wayne-a big departure from his usual material. Insomniac is said to be Iglesias' most diverse to date. He wrote more than 50 songs before settling on 12 that he felt were strong enough to put on the album. Iglesias recorded most of the album in the evening and early hours of the morning. "Insomniac" is not just the title of the album, it is also a fact of Iglesias' life, who says he often takes sleeping pills to get a good night's rest. The album is his first for four years since 7. Enrique Iglesias told to Insider about recording the album.
So in a way the album was done by night." I go to the studio at six or seven in the evening and leave again at six in the morning. I never lay vocals onto any song before eight or nine at night.
I have always been more of a night person. But I guess that is the way it goes - when you put three years into making an album, you also become a bit of an insomniac. "Sometimes I take a pill to sleep, or two or six.
