Critical reception

Matthew Wilkening from AOL Radio Blog said that the song "combines an infectious mid-tempo dance beat with Latin horns and percussion, as Daddy Yankee bids farewell -- but seemingly refuses to give up a lover who is moving away from him, despite his friends' best advice".[1]

Music video

The music video for the song was released on August 23, 2010. It was directed by George Rivera and Juan Esteban Suárez.[2] It shows the artist's wife going to the doctor for a visit and that she has a severe illness, and leaves the artist's home.
