The American publication MundoNow mentioned "Haga Mucho Tiempo" as "some of Arcángel's songs that have marked milestones in the Latin trap genre" and called it "a retrospective and a declaration of intent" and highlighted that the melody feels nostalgic, but with a vision of the future, capturing the very essence of an evolving genre".[4]
