It is the fourth album in the Romance series wherein Luis Miguel covers bolero standards from Latin America and includes two original compositions.

It was met with unfavorable reviews from critics who felt the record was too similar to its predecessors and lambasted Luis Miguel for not evolving his artistic style.

The record was Produced by Armando Manzanero and arranged by Bebu Silvetti,[2] and was a success in Latin America and sold over seven million copies worldwide.

[5][6] Its follow-up, Segundo Romance, was issued in 1994; Manzanero, Juan Carlos Calderón and Kiko Cibrian co-produced the disc with Luis Miguel, winning a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Performance.

[7][8] In 1997, Romances was launched, with Luis Miguel and Manzanero co-producing Silvetti's arrangements;[9] it sold over 4.5 million copies, winning another Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance.

Achy Obejas of the Chicago Tribune wondered how long Luis Miguel "can dig into the oldies bag and come up with a credible record" as she felt that he was beginning to "slip" in the disc.

[13] After Romances, Luis Miguel released Amarte Es un Placer (1999), a record with original material, and Vivo (2000), a live album.

[19] He later held a press conference on 30 November 2001 at the Casa Casuarina in Miami, Florida where he affirmed that Mis Romances would be the fourth record in a series of ten bolero albums.

[24] Mis Romances also includes two original compositions: "Cómo Duele" and "Al Que Me Siga", composed by Armando Manzanero and Manuel Alejandro respectively.

[40] AllMusic critic Drago Bonacich rated the Mis Romances three out five stars noting that "Perfidia" had already been covered by several artists previously and regarded Luis Miguel's version of "Tú Me Acostumbraste" as "remembering one of Chilean Lucho Gatica's favorites".

[21] Laura Emerick of the Chicago Sun-Times rated the record two-and-a-half out of four stars and believed that Luis Miguel "once-distinctive approach" had "descended into formula".

She felt that it may have been due to Manzanero and Silvetti's absence on the album and stated that Miguel "clearly needs to find a new way of expressing his love jones, unless he wants to run the risk of becoming the Jerry Vale" of Latin pop.

[41] The Washington Post critic Fernando Gonzalez highlighted Mis Romances as an example of the lack of artistic creativity in the Latin pop field.

[23] Despite lauding the record's "exquisite arrangements" and "dazzling orchestrations", Eliseo Cardona of the Miami Herald remarked that the production "oozes formula".

[19] An editor for Latin Styles magazine wrote a more positive review of the album: the critic praised Luis Miguel for utilizing the string arrangements by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and called "Cómo Duele" one of the "most power compositions" in the disc.

[55] In Argentina, Mis Romances debuted atop the albums chart and the disc was certified double Platinum by the Argentine Chamber of Phonograms and Videograms Producers for shipping 120,000 copies.
