Audiophile Audition gives five stars to Fernando Otero's Nonesuch debut album, Pagina de Buenos Aires, calling it "the first really new music coming out of the tango milieu since Piazzolla's." Writes reviewer John Sunier, Otero's music

clearly has its roots in tango, but goes beyond that with even more abandon than did the music of Astor Piazzolla. Tango is the origination point, but the instrumental sound is more like an exciting mix of jazz within a classical structure.

The Argentine-born, New York-based composer-pianist shows "a quirky sense of humor" on some tunes that bring to mind Carl Stalling's cartoon scores and turns to classic films for inspiration on some others, creating "truly a fascinating twist on the tango."
