In review of last year's show, the LA Weekly noted: 'Aztlan Fest 2001 is all about celebrating pride and showcasing the real diversity of Chicano talent.' In another review, the New Times said, 'Aztlan Fest 2001 should serve as a harbinger for the future of Southern California Latin Rock scene.'

Aztlan Fest producer, Mario Cobian comments on the range of bands and mission, 'once again we continue with our mission to promote the often overlooked underground genres such as rock, metal, punk, alternative, ska and hip-hop that exist in each of our markets. In doing so we've created one of the most unique festivals in the country-reaching young and informed Bilingual and Bicultural Chicano audiences.'
