AllMusic critic David Jeffries wrote: "It's the Pitbull album that feels most like a party with all these friends dropping in and out, and this wild night out peaks toward the end with the highlights running from the club-worthy "Baddest Girl in Town" (the first clue that this album isn't all-Spanish like Armando) to the '80s-flavored, Human League-quoting "No Puedo Más.""^[6] Jed Gottlieb of Boston Herald stated "If you really miss Pit's lyrics, I suggest you make your own. I'm sure they'll be better than 'Big news, Pitbull, Tom Cruise, Mumbai I lit up their December night like the fourth of July, Vanilla Sky.'"^[8] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone noted that unlike Pitbull's previous Spanish language effort Armando, Dale "skips EDM and Southern hip-hop almost entirely in favor of a fuller Latin-fusion sound."^[7] The American edition of Rolling Stone magazine placed Dale at number 2 in the list for the "10 Best Latin Albums of the Year", arguing that the singer "volleys between English and Spanish with ease, flirting with dancehall and guaguancó elements, while bringing MCs from neighboring islands along for the ride."^[9]
