David Jeffries from Allmusic said that "reggaeton duo Plan B continue to combine the slick and the traditional, making music that appeals to the current club crowd while keeping it simple and avoiding those jacked-in, ultra-pop choruses whenever possible. Still, singles like "Candy" and collaborations with Tego Calderón ("Zapatito Roto") and Yandel ("Pa'l Piso") are as big as they need to be, so think of 50 Cent's G-Unit crew when it comes to Plan B's perfect balance of the street-worthy and the radio-worthy. Love & Sex continues this legacy, although all the swagger and all the thrills found within suggest that the album's title was printed backwards." He rated Love & Sex with 4 stars out of 5.[1]
Production
According to Chencho (Orlando Valle), Love & Sex is a product of four years of work, and the duo managed into the composition of the lyrics of his songs, focussing on the identification of the people when listening to the tracks. They decided to name his album so because his followers became to call them "el dúo del sex" (Spanish for "the duo of sex") after debuting on DJ Blass' Reggaeton Sex compilation in 2000. Chencho added that because of the fans increase around the world, they limited the use of explicit words.[2]
At the moment of writing songs, we had to do it in all areas. We evolved on lyrics, the song content, and we searched a sense so that people can identify. Maldy and me sat and watched for every detail thinking in our fans. They were four years of sacrifice.— Chencho, September 2014.
