Background

Iglesias explained the reasoning behind the title Sex and Love, saying: "It's one of the first things I thought about when I listened to the whole body of work. I think it's something we can all relate to no matter what religion, no matter what personality, no matter what colour, we can all relate to it."^[3]

Iglesias has described his album as fun and sexual, while some of it is more introspective and nostalgic. He then went on to say: "The words go together, but they can be separate and inspire different feelings and thoughts. It's all-encompassing. When you turn on the radio, what are the themes that everybody relates to? We all relate to sex and love. That's why when you hear music – 90% of the time – it derives from those two feelings."^{[citation needed]}

The album became available for pre-order on 15 February 2014 through Topspin Media. Two versions of the album (a standard 11-track version and a deluxe version with 5 bonus tracks) were released, both physically and digitally.^[4][5] A special deluxe edition for Target and Walmart was also released, which contains two bonus tracks.

The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. The Daily Star gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, stating that "Iglesias has turned all sleazy Robin Thicke slurring: 'I've been spending all my money on these pretty girls and alcohol, but honey, they got nothing on you' over the funky 'Let Me Be Your Lover'." However, they praised "Loco", stating that it will have fans "getting their Latin freak on". AllMusic also gave the album 3/5, stating "Iglesias walks the line between the dancefloor jams of 2007's Insomniac and the romantic flavor of 2010's Euphoria." They chose "Bailando", "El Perdedor", "Let Me Be Your Lover", and "Loco" as the best songs from the album.^[17] Newsday gave the album a "B" grade and described the album as "slick, state-of-the-art Spanglish dance pop". Idolator gave the album 3/5 stars and called the album Euphoria's "older cousin", stating that the album "isn’t great but there’s enough decent material to remind you of what Enrique is capable of at full flight".^[18] They named "You and I" and "Bailando" as the best singles from the album.^[15]

Jake Hamilton of Jake's Take gave the album a "B" grade, stating that "he went overboard on the Spanish tracks".^[19] He also praised Iglesias' work in co-writing every song on the album. The Boston Globe gave a favorable review stating that Iglesias "remains a heartthrob for a reason". They also said that "You and I" is "filled with romantic yearning", while his duet with Kylie Minogue in "Beautiful" "manages to be corny yet endearing". They concluded that "It’s the heat not the beat that brings out the best in Iglesias".

Artistdirect gave a positive review and gave the album 5/5 stars, stating that the new album was "Enrique's biggest and boldest masterpiece yet" and that the song "Noche y De Día" "might just be one of the most powerful and potent Latin anthems ever".^[9] Culture Fix took note of the album's range of styles stating, "The club-friendly tracks are slickly produced and filled with a high-octane energy, the ballads are complete with a raw charisma and emotion, and the mid-tempo tracks hark back to some of the singer's best work", and scored the album 4/5.^[20][11]
