Since 1995, Gisselle had established herself as one of Puerto Rico's top female merengue singers having released six studio albums.
[5] Her opportunity came after her record label BMG US Latin had a vote of confidence and brought Colombian musician Kike Santander to help with the project.
[4] The artist also mentioned that whereas Atada had merengue songs with ballad influences, the inverse is true for Voy a Enamorarte (2000).
[17] The San Antonio Express-News reviewer Ramiro Burr praised the "soulful" saxophone and commented that "Júrame" "showcases (Gisselle)'s vocal range and on-the-money phrasing".
[1] At the 2001 2nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards, the merengue version of "Júrame" led to Santander winning the accolade for Best Tropical Song.
[19] At the 8th Annual Latin Billboard Music Awards in 2001, "Júrame" was nominated in the category of Tropical/Salsa Track of the Year, but ultimately lost to "A Puro Dolor" by Son by Four.
[21][22] It was also nominated Song of the Year at the 2001 El Premio de la Gente,[23] which was awarded to "Abrázame Muy Fuerte" by Juan Gabriel.
