 David Browne from Entertainment Weekly , however , called the album a " the ultimate in crossover nightmares " and opined that Shakira 's incorporation of different musical genres made it sound confusing , saying " Its wan ska @-@ pop , faux @-@ country ballads , and generic rock barely betray a Spanish accent or any musical heritage . ( She can 't decide if she wants to sound like Alanis or Shania ) " . Matt Cibula from PopMatters gave a more mixed view in his review of Laundry Service ; he complimented some of the lyrics of the songs but expressed disappointment in Shakira 's production of the album , writing it off as " generic " . He felt that the album was " extremely safe " and speculated that the reason behind the album 's " generic " sound was due to the Estefans ' involvement , saying " when I read that she 's [ Gloria Estefan ] helping you with lyrics and he 's [ Emilio Estefan ] ' executive producer ' , and I hear the unmistakable hum of ' moneymoneymoneymoney ' in the background [ sic ] . " Ernesto Lechner from Rolling Stone complimented the singer 's voice as a " wild and beautiful instrument [ ... ] capable of delivering scorching moments of musical passion , " but commented that the involvement of a " battalion of producers and songwriters " led to Shakira sounding " downright silly " on Laundry Service and also criticised " her efforts to spice things up with obvious touches of Latin American folklore .
