The performance, which was ranked as one of the best moments of the night, received positive reviews. 'Diario Veloz' stated that "Espsito's figure emerged from the chiaroscuro caused by the lighting effects and joined her dancers on an explosive performance". 'El Trece's official website admitted that "a lot of 'Bailando por un Sueo' contestants would love to do something as similar [as Espsito did] to stand out and get to the finals." On August 7, 2016, Espsito performed the song in a medley with "Boomerang" and "Soy" on 'Susana Gimnez'.
