The album was well received with "Triste Cancion" becoming a hymn in Latin rock and by far the most recognized song by the band, just like "Metro Balderas" and "Vicioso" received big success as singles.

In the song San Juanico 84 Alex Lora makes a salute industrial disaster caused by a massive series of explosions at a liquid petroleum gas tank farm in San Juanico, Mexico on November 19, 1984; this being one more of the songs dedicated to social reality, a characteristic in the songs of the band.
