', my first album
is magic because I have a lot of care and because it has a level of honesty for me unique compared to what I've done. But when people hear this record is obvious that you will find that it has nothing to do with many of the songs I've done in the past, [...] What we want is that the audience grows with you and that is very difficult to achieve. That failing, you do it only occasionally. With these failures can be learned, but it is not easy." On the album's style "I Like It", he explained, that "It taps into so many different styles of music - it's been really exciting for me to experiment and explore new territory. [...] It's a song that when I wrote it and not much thought was more by sound." "Heartbeat" (feat. Nicole Scherzinger
) was described as a "raw" and "upbeat" song, while "Dirty Dancer" (feat. Usher
) is a song "for the dirty girls, all around the world."

gave the album 3 stars (out of 5), saying that "Euphoria fits between the sentimental Iglesias of the 'Hero
' and 'Bailamos
' era and the new, Down With The Kids Enrique. The latter is generally more entertaining, with the robotic vocal effects and rave-tinged production, but the end result here is not necessarily what Iglesias may have intended". He finished the review saying that "Euphoria is a mixed bag of a record which tries a little too hard to please the disparate elements of his fanbase". In a more negative review, "Doug Belfast" from Sputnik Music thought that "Euphoria is really a mixed bag of a record that tries a little too hard at being something different, tries a little too hard at recapturing the glory of the past and tries a little too hard capturing a new fan base. All this is too hard to garner in one single record". Stephen Thomas Erlewine
from Allmusic gave 3 stars out of 5 for the album and went to say that "Euphoria is as bright as its title, a firm return to romance for the loverman" and "despite the contemporary flourishes, the heart of this album resides in Iglesias’ romantic balladeering, the kind of croon that crosses cultures, so much so that the tracks here slip between Spanish and English without much notice. No matter the language, Enrique maintains the seductive mood on Euphoria".

Background
This album is Iglesias' first bilingual album. Enrique described the album by saying, "It's the first album I've ever released that's 50-50, [...] I thought that when it came down to it artistically, it would help me because it would put the Spanish songs against the English. I've created a little competition inside my head." I do not want to do a double album, and I've been writing this album for a year-and-a-half, [...] So I want to make sure it's the very best I can give fans."It was announced that at the end of 2010 Iglesias would set off on his Euphoria Tour in support of his latest album.
Musical content
Iglesias stated that this album is different than his previous albums by saying, "To my 'religious experienceExperiencia Religiosa
