Laura Coca of Spanish radio station Los 40 gave the song a positive review, highlighting Daddy Yankee as a "talent" and that he "brings some unmistakable verses and a catchy beat". He also predicted that the theme "is going to become the theme of the dance floors this summer" although "there are many artists who bring out their musical arsenal in the weeks before the hottest time of the year begins."

Lucía Castillo from the Spanish newspaper Okdiario also positively reviewed the remix, noting that it "maintains the essence of the original song", but that "the presence of Daddy Yankee takes this song to another level".
