The song "Un Beso" was released as the album's first single on September 21, 2015.[5] "Tú Atacas" and "Todo Pasa" were released as the album's second and third singles.
James Christopher Monger for AllMusic wrote about the album that "shot through with subtle electronic flourishes and bolstered by Morrison's flawless voice, Amor Supremo is as sonically luxurious as it is melodramatic and emotionally charged, suggesting a Spanish-language Lana Del Rey by way of Homogenic-era Björk", also commenting on the album opening track "Un Beso", calling it "a noir-ish and ridiculously lush bit of business that perfectly sets up the 12 songs to come". He ended the review writing that "Amor Supremo manages the difficult task of striking the perfect balance between atmosphere and artistry, and presents Morrison as anything but a traditional Latin pop star.".[6]
Writing for Pitchfork, Stephen Deusner gave the album an 8.0 out of 10 calling it "one of the most rewarding and genuinely moving pop albums of 2015". He also commented the song "No Vuelvo Jamás", calling it a "towering standout" in the album writing that it is "a pining anthem that opens with the Mexican singer-songwriter delivering a cascade of wordless syllables that sound less like a human voice than a wind instrument".[7]
