Critical reception
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."[17]
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". In the same way, the Peruvian radio station Moda highlighted that "it maintains the same dynamics and essence that made the original hit such a success."[18]
The Argentine newspaper Crónica published that "the addition of Daddy Yankee's verses exploits the full potential of a hit with which they already speculate if it will not be 'the theme of the summer' in the northern hemisphere".[19] The Ecuadorian television station Ecuavisa, through an article on its website, indicated that "it promises to be one of the best songs of 2023" and "that Feid is in the cast makes the product even more popular".[20]
On the other hand, according to the Spanish newspaper Diario de Avisos, the song disappointed the public, being criticized mainly for the "substitution of some of the favorite parts of the original song to add to the reggaeton legend (Daddy Yankee)" and that "the part in which (the) new star Feid appears has been moved to the end of the song". Also, some of the fans who were dissatisfied posted their opinions on Twitter, which turned the topic of the song's release into a trending topic.[21]
