AllMusic	[7]

Thom Jurek of AllMusic called the album a "hooky, rhythm-heavy study in why Juanes remains a prime mover in the mercurial world of Latin popular music". He added that "two decades into his career, Juanes remains a musical seeker; he carefully integrates what attracts him into his own trademark style, creating a sound at once instantly recognizable and bracingly future forward."^[7] Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone wrote that Más futuro que pasado "is a soulful celebration of the Latin folk tradition as well as Juanes' very first love: the guitar".^[8]
