The song has been covered live by Puerto Rican singer José Feliciano as part of The Latin Recording Academy tribute to Estefan in 2008 and by Mexican artist Thalía for her album Habítame Siempre (2012).

[4] Mi Tierra was produced by Gloria's husband Emilio Estefan, and fellow Miami Sound Machine members Clay Ostwald and Jorge Casas.

[8] The tune features Los Tres Caballeros on the background vocals with one of its members Chamín Correa performing the requinto, Cachao on the double bass, Luis Enrique playing percussion, and London Symphony Orchestra on the strings.

[13] Ron Fell from the Gavin Report commented, "Gloria finds new words to express fresh thoughts, not just a translation from Spanish to English.

"[14] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said that "If We Were Lovers" "tries to be slightly more commercial, its an English re-recording of the album track, paced at a ballroom waltz and is not what you would describe as a pop hit".

[15] Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song three out of five, calling it "a lushly orchestrated, atmospheric, guitar-picked Latin delight in strictly ballroom tempo.

"[16] Parry Gettelman from Orlando Sentinel felt that "such lovely ballads", as "Con Los Años Que Me Quedan", "find Estefan abandoning melodrama for real color and emotional shading".

[17] "Con Los Años Que Me Quedan" was nominated in the category of Pop Song of the Year at the 6th Annual Lo Nuestro Awards in 1994, but ultimately lost to "Nunca Voy a Olvidarte" by Cristian Castro.

[25] As part of The Latin Recording Academy tribute to Estefan, who was presented with the Person of the Year accolade in 2008, Puerto Rican singer José Feliciano sung a live cover version of "Con los Años Que Me Quedan".
