It was selected by Hip Latina in 2017 as one of the "13 Old School Songs Every Colombian Grew Up Listening To"; the publication wrote that the song was "most likely part of any Colombian's perpetual playlist."[3] Viva Music Colombia rated the song No. 50 on its list of the 100 most important Colombian songs of all time.[4] Arroyo's original version peaked at number eight in Panama.[5]
The song was covered in merengue by Puerto Rican singer Elvis Crespo on his third studio Wow!
