Carlos Quintana from About.com said that Líderes "represents a good example of what we can consider a modern Latin Urban music album. This production offers a good balance between the original flavors of Reggaeton and a sound shaped by defined Dance beats that can be heard throughout the whole album -- Overall, Líderes is an album that offers a good mix of a little bit of Reggaeton, Dance music and Latin Pop. Considering this mix is what is making Latin Urban music so popular today, Líderes does a good job in delivering just what the people want."[4] Although Billboard estimated the album will sell between 10 thousand and 15 thousand copies in the first week in the US, it only sold 3,427 copies.[10]
