[7] The album was described as a "guitar album" due to its instrumentation, ranging from slower songs like the ballads "Mi Ranchera" and "Cuarteles de Invierno" to more upbeat songs such as "Adán Rechaza", "Siete Vidas", "Falso LV" and the proto-rap "Las Rimas", in the album Calamaro explores personal experiences and relationships like in "Tránsito Lento" about life while travelling, "My Mafia" dedicated to his friends and "Voy a Volver" about his natal country Argentina.
[5][6] Iñaki Molinos from Mondo Sonoro gave the album a seven out of ten calling it "Calamaro's best work since the acclaimed La Lengua Popular (2007)", writing that "despite being scarce in terms of great singles or big hits, the exquisite production and interpretation of this work, the patience and dedication in each of the texts, the importance of the guitars and the always unfathomable emotion that Andrés preserves in his songs make his new work into a bang on the table".
