The album received a mixed reception from music critics. Many critics applauded the album for its interesting themes and her step forward "from girl to woman" in the music industry, while others focused heavily on her conceptual image, who noted the influence of Marilyn Monroe and Madonna[3] —Although her greatest inspiration was Brigitte Bardot—, and they did not like another "Madonna wannabe". Despite mixed reviews, commercially the album was a success. It includes Rubio's signature song and single that launched her solo career, "Mío", along with the number-one hits, "Sabor a Miel" and "Amor de Mujer".[4] In Mexico, the album was certified triple gold,[5] selling 450,000 copies in the nation.
In the United States, the album peaked at position number forty two on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, but it peaked the number two on the Latin Pop Albums chart. The singles "Mío", "Amor de Mujer" and "Abriendo las Puertas al Amor" entered the top-ten of the Hot Latin Songs chart, turning Rubio into a strong promise of Hispanic music.[6]
