Critical reception

According to Billboard magazine's Leila Cobo, the song, "with its mid-section rap became the blueprint—to this day—for a bust of recordings featuring much younger acts."[1] The song has been considered one of Cruz's last hits before her death in July 2003.[2][3]

The song received nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Music Video of the Year at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2002.[4][5] The parent album won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album.[6] It was nominated for Album of the Year.[4] The song was also nominated Tropical Song of the Year at the 2003 Lo Nuestro Awards.[7] It received a nomination for Best "Party Starter" at the 2004 Premios Juventud. "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" was also nominated in the same category.[8]
