David Jeffries of Allmusic gave the album a three-half out of five stars who felt that the album arrangements were improved in comparison to the previous album. Jeffries also commented that the "heart-wrenching songs have evolved from a Maroon 5 size to a larger -- and arguably better -- sound that’s Coldplay big, filling the speakers with layers of strings, rock guitars, and full-bodied piano." [8] Leila Cobo of Billboard gave the album a positive who felt it "continues the path that Camila crafted on its 2006 self-titled debut, but multiplied".[9] At the 11th Latin Grammy Awards, the album received an award for "Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group" as well as a nomination for "Album of the Year which it lost to Juan Luis Guerra's A Son de Guerra.
