Critical and commercial performance edit

¿Dónde Jugarán los Niños? was a critical and commercial success, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, the band's first top-ten entry.[2] Selling about 10 million copies worldwide, the album is the eighth best-selling Spanish-language album of all time and the best-selling Spanish-language rock album.[3][4]

Music critic Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic rated the album four and a half stars out of five, stating, "the album is quite solid, maintaining a consistently strong standard of songwriting throughout, and the production is very professional, if perhaps a bit too glossy for those who like some grit in their music... it's one of those albums that warrants beginning-to-end listening, and it's had a lasting appeal over the years".[5]
