The Chicago Tribune called the album "a truly sweet and artfully balanced mix of many worlds: a smart international pan-Latin style that draws on classic salsa, new Latin pop."[6] The Los Angeles Times noted that "though representative of Cruz's well-known style, it allows room for a more pop-oriented presence."[8]
