 Forbes contributor Veronica Villafañe called Lopez and Anthony's duet one of the biggest highlights of the awards show. Lucía Galán of Pimpinela praised Lopez and Anthony for covering their song. She called their version a "marvelous homage". Galán further remarked: "They interpreted it perfectly, kept its style and theme without detracting it. They did the theatrical part that is something that characterizes us and respected the melody. They could have made a ballad, salsa, something more danceable than it was but no, it was fabulous".
