At the time of her performance, journalists gave the singer rave reviews, citing the range of material performed, as well as Selena's "sultry, and sensual" choreography.[4] Critics have since regarded the concert as one of her best performances[7]—it was dramatized by Jennifer Lopez in the 1997 biopic film.[8] The purple jumpsuit worn during the performance—on display in a museum the singer's family operates in Corpus Christi, Texas[9]—continues to be a popular halloween costume[10] for children and adults.[11][12]

The set list mostly included material from her Amor Prohibido (1994) album and a medley mashup of disco music songs "I Will Survive", "Funkytown", "Last Dance", "The Hustle", and "On the Radio", by Gloria Gaynor, Lipps Inc., and Van McCoy respectively, while "Last Dance" and "On the Radio" were originally performed by Donna Summer.[4] The album peaked atop the US Billboard Latin Pop Albums chart, becoming the singer's second number one on the chart since Dreaming of You (1995). It earned the singer a nomination for Pop Album of the Year, Female at the 2002 Billboard Latin Music Awards.[13]
