Critical reception

Mariano Prunes from AllMusic gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars commenting that the album "is an extremely accomplished collection of hard Latin funk that functions more as a recap for IKV than a new beginning", he also called the album "a bit of a disappointment" compared to the duo's previous efforts, writing that the album as the comeback of the duo "has actually become a rightful reason to celebrate, even if the joy is almost entirely derived from IKV's comeback, rather than from the songs themselves".
