Luis Miguel is the 19th studio album by Mexican singer Luis Miguel, released on 14 September 2010 by Warner Music Latina. It is a pop album featuring uptempo tracks with several ballads with lyrics emphasizing romance. "Labios de Miel" was released as the album's lead single while "Mujer de Fuego" was launched to promote the special edition of the record. To further promote the record, Luis Miguel embarked on self-titled tour from September 2010 to May 2012. He performed in the Americas and Spain.
Upon its release, Luis Miguel was met with mixed reactions from music critics. The uptempo numbers were criticized for being bland and sounding too similar to his previous recordings, although the ballads, particularly the compositions by Armando Manzanero, were praised as the album's best tracks. Commercially, Luis Miguel reached number one in Argentina, Mexico, Spain, and the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States. It was certified gold in Chile, platinum in Argentina, and multi-platinum in Mexico.
Background and recording
In 2008, Luis Miguel released his 18th studio album, Cómplices, which he co-produced with Spanish musician Manuel Alejandro with the latter composing and arranging all of its tracks.{{cite web|last=Farias|first=Andree|title=Cómplices – Luis Miguel|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/complices-mw0000784523|publisher=AllMusic|access-date=17 February 2022|archive-date=17 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217031148/https://www.allmusic.com/album/complices-mw0000784523|url-status=live}} Although Luis Miguel's decision to collaborate with Manuel Alejandro was praised, the album was met with mixed reactions from music critics who found its musical style too similar to the artist's previous pop records.{{cite web|last=Palacios|first=Sandra|title='Cómplices'|date=30 May 2008|page=32D|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/100144549/|newspaper=El Nuevo Herald|language=es|access-date=6 April 2022|url-access=subscription}} Cómplices was followed by No Culpes a la Noche (2009), a remix album of previously recorded material.{{cite web |last1=Shim |first1=Dave |title=Luis Miguel – No Culpes a La Noche Album Reviews, Songs & More |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/no-culpes-a-la-noche-mw0000826683 |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=19 November 2023 |archive-date=4 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204220529/https://www.allmusic.com/album/no-culpes-a-la-noche-mw0000826683 |url-status=live }}
On 26 July 2010, Luis Miguel announced he was releasing a new single titled "Labios de Miel" ("Honey Lips") on 3 August 2010 and that it would be included on his upcoming studio album. The working title of the album was named after the track.{{cite web |title=Luis Miguel lanzará su nuevo disco el 3 de agosto |url=https://www.informador.mx/Entretenimiento/Luis-Miguel-lanzara-su-nuevo-disco-el-3-de-agosto-20100726-0043.html |website=El Informador |access-date=19 November 2023 |language=es-MX |date=26 July 2010 |archive-date=19 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231119222340/https://www.informador.mx/Entretenimiento/Luis-Miguel-lanzara-su-nuevo-disco-el-3-de-agosto-20100726-0043.html |url-status=live }} Three days after releasing "Labio de Miel", Luis Miguel's record label Warner Music Latina announced that the album would launch on 14 September 2010 but did not disclose its final name.{{cite web |title=Luis Miguel lanzará el 14 de septiembre su más reciente disco |url=https://www.informador.mx/Entretenimiento/Luis-Miguel-lanzara-el-14-de-septiembre-su-mas-reciente-disco-20100806-0007.html |website=El Informador |access-date=19 November 2023 |language=es-MX |date=8 June 2010 |archive-date=19 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231119222338/https://www.informador.mx/Entretenimiento/Luis-Miguel-lanzara-el-14-de-septiembre-su-mas-reciente-disco-20100806-0007.html |url-status=live }} Its name, named after the artist himself, was announced a day before the album's release.{{cite web |last1=O'Farrili |first1=Joel |title=Luis Miguel regresa con nuevo disco |url=https://wradio.com.mx/radio/2010/09/13/sociedad/1284423600_357641.html |publisher=W Radio México |access-date=19 November 2023 |language=es-mx |date=13 September 2010 |archive-date=19 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231119223807/https://wradio.com.mx/radio/2010/09/13/sociedad/1284423600_357641.html |url-status=live }} Luis Miguel described as the record another chapter of his life.

Whereas Cómplices emphasized on its ballads, Luis Miguel focuses more on up-tempo pop songs. AllMusic editor David Jeffries described the pop songs as a "returned to basics" drawing inspiration from 1980s-style disco music and features "Vegas horns" and swing brass instruments.{{cite web |last1=Plaza |first1=Gabriel |title=La compactera |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/musica/la-compactera-nid1306027/ |website=La Nación |access-date=19 November 2023 |language=es |date=19 September 2010 |archive-date=19 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231119233052/https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/musica/la-compactera-nid1306027/ |url-status=live }} "I try to choose a song that I like, that's all. I am not very much attracted to today's music. I like the melodies and notes from classical songs; that has been my influence. What I like to do, just like I've done with my past productions, is to choose the songs that motivate me, that fulfill me and transmit them to my audience", Luis Miguel said.{{cite news |last1=Rodriguez |first1=Irene |title=Singer |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-fresno-bee/129981871/ |access-date=21 November 2023 |work=The Fresno Bee |date=22 September 2010 |page=B3 |archive-date=29 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240429040326/https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/?next_url=/ezproxy/r/ezp.2aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV3c3BhcGVycy5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZS90aGUtZnJlc25vLWJlZS8xMjk5ODE4NzEv |url-status=live }} The opening track "Labios de Miel" is reminiscent of his earlier song "Será Que No Me Amas" (1990). Most of the tracks were composed by Alejandro Carballo, Héctor E. Gutiérrez Francisco Loyo, Edgar Cortázar, and the artist himself.{{cite web |title=Con disco rompe el silencio |url=https://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/MAM-4149070 |website=El Tiempo |access-date=20 November 2023 |language=spanish |date=20 September 2010 |archive-date=20 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120002639/https://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/MAM-4149070 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=Un Luis Miguel lleno de energía electriza Las Vegas |url=https://www.publico.es/actualidad/luis-miguel-lleno-energia-electriza.html |website=Público |access-date=20 November 2023 |date=18 September 2010 |archive-date=20 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120002639/https://www.publico.es/actualidad/luis-miguel-lleno-energia-electriza.html |url-status=live }}
As done on his earlier pop recordings such as Aries (1993) and Amarte Es un Placer (1999), the albums contains ballads including a cover of Osvaldo Farrés's bolero, "Tres Palabras", three compositions by Armando Manzanero ("No Existen Límites", "Lo Que Queda de Mí", and "De Quién Es Usted"), and "Siento".{{cite news |last1=Gallegos |first1=Chucho |title=¡Que...

On its release, Luis Miguel was met with mixed reactions from critics, with the up-tempo tracks being criticized as uninspiring. AllMusic's Jeffries gave the album three out of five stars commenting that it is "filled with Latin pop that's built with radio play in mind". Billboard editor Leila Cobo rated it three-and-a-half out of five stars and claimed the up-tempo to be "less endearing" and dated. Similarly, Marcelo Contreras of El Mercurio was not amused with the dance tracks and regarded them as "bland and predictable". This sentiment was shared by La Nación reviewer Gabriel Plaza who found them to be boring. In a negative review of the record, Reforma critic Chucho Gallegos was disappointed that the artist did not take his two year absence to come up with an innovative sound and found none of the tracks to be noticeable. In addition, Gallegos preferred Luis Miguel more as a singer than as a composer.{{cite news |last1=Gallegos |first1=Chucho |title=¡Que...

Writing in a more favorable view for Diario Popular, Wilmar Merino lauded the pop songs to be "contagious" as done in "Labios de Miel".{{cite news |last1=Merino |first1=Wilmar |title=Pop – Latino |url=https://www.diariopopular.com.ar/zapping/pop-latino-n36923 |access-date=20 November 2023 |work=Diario Popular |date=27 September 2010 |language=es-AR |archive-date=4 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204224031/https://www.diariopopular.com.ar/zapping/pop-latino-n36923 |url-status=live }} In contrast to the other reviews, Olivia Ruiz of Vida en el Valle gave Luis Miguel four out of five stars and proclaimed that the dance numbers will "make you dance". However she conceded that none of the tracks stood out. The ballads, particularly "Tres Palabras" and the compositions by Manzanero, were more well received by music critics. Jeffries complimented the former track as "very lush". Cobo declared that the ballads are "[f]ar more enticing" and allowed his vocals to "soar even further" and the slower tracks "lend themselves to romanticized arrangements". Marino felt that "Tres Palabras" was the best track in the album. The Miami Herald critic Manuel C. Díaz found Manzanero's compositions to be a "trio of beautiful ballads".{{cite news |last1=Díaz |first1=Manuel C. |title=Esta Semana |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/el-nuevo-herald/129981928/ |access-date=20 November 2023 |work=Miami Herald |date=24 September 2010 |page=21D |language=es}} Similarly, Contreras called them "infallible" and among the best songs along with "Tres Palabras". Plaza stated that is the ballads where "he finds the reason for his style as a performer".
