Jason Birchmeier of Allmusic gave the album four stars out of five, calling it "good news for those who enjoy state-of-the-art reggaeton without any experimentation" and specifically mentioning that "the employment of first-rate producers Nesty, Tainy, El Nasi, and Monserrate and DJ Urba in the place of Wisin & Yandel's former beatmakers-in-chief, Luny Tunes, ensures the quality of the music." He summarized the review by saying that "the result is a new-yet-familiar album sure to please the duo's fan base, and likely grow it as well as the hits mount."[5]

Chart performance

The album entered the Billboard 200 at number 15, the fourth highest rank in reggaeton history, shared only by King of Kings (Don Omar) which peaked at number 7, El Cartel: The Big Boss (Daddy Yankee), which peaked at number 9, and Talento de Barrio (Daddy Yankee), which peaked at number 12.[6] It also peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and at the year-end charts of 2008, this album ranked at number one.[7] It has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA Latino.[8]
