This album received a nomination for a Latin Grammy Award for Best Grupero Performance,[1] which was awarded to En La Madrugada se Fue by Los Temerarios, and became their first number-one album in the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.

Technically, this album is of re-recordings, except for “Morir de Amor” and “Mexico Ra, Ra, Ra”. Also, the album consists entirely of ballads; all with keyboard with the exception of “Mexico Ra, Ra, Ra”, because the song has accordion instead of the keyboard.

Jugando al Amor of Me Nortie from 1993,

Dime, Dime, Dime of Me Voy, Me Voy from 1989,
