Corazón Profundo has received generally positive reviews from critics. At About.com's Carlos Quintana opined that "I have to say the album has left me with mixed feelings. While I like the romantic vibes in this album and the more traditional sound of tracks like 'Hoy Me Desperte en Otro Lugar', I really did not enjoy some of the commercial stuff that Carlos Vives added here".[3] David Jeffries from Allmusic gave the album three and a half stars (out of five), saying to "expect nostalgic numbers and romantic songs, along with some modern, polished pop" and highlighting the new sound with the song "Como Le Gusta a Tu Cuerpo" and the smash hit "Volvi a Nacer".[4]
