Recording and composition
This was the first time Arjona collaborated with Tommy Torres. In an interview with Billboard magazine, the singer commented that he first "tested" Torres by sending him the "hookiest and darkest tracks" on the album, "Acompañame A Estar Solo" and "Iluso".[2] Torres said that he "went all out on the first demo, hiring a full band that included a string orchestra", which grabbed the attention of Arjona.[2] Arjona further commented that Adentro was "a very representative and tremendously complete album," adding that "having different producers made it rich in possibilities."[2]

Promotion
In 2006, Arjona commenced the first leg of his world tour, named the Adentro Tour, to promote the album.[2][7] The tour resumed in 2007 for a second leg, in which he visited more countries. Approximately two million people attended his concerts throughout his world tour.[8] The tour officially closed in front of more than 100,00 people during the International Fair on 14 September 2007, in the mainland city of Barquisimeto, Venezuela.[9] In the United States, the tour had an attendance of 134,000 people, and grossed $8.2 million.[7][10] Arjona founded the Fundación Adentro, a charity organization which provides music and singing education for poor children in Guatemala, in July 2008.[11] Arjona commented that the main objective of the organization "isn't becoming an important foundation internationally, but to help child reach their dreams."[11] The organization's development originated in 2005, prior to the release of Adentro, from which the foundation received its name.[12] Its headquarters are located in Mexico City.[11]

The album received critical acclaim. AllMusic writer Evan Gutierrez gave it four stars out of five and lauded its "stripped, natural production value", Arjona's "confident" vocal performance, its "relevant-as-ever" lyricism, and the record's sonic palette as brilliantly variant. Gutierrez further opined that the album pleases both Arjona's fans and "the execs at Norte."[3] Leila Cobo of Billboard dubbed it lyrically "Arjona's most personal album", favored its rock elements, and praised its cohesiveness.[17] Cobo concluded: "It is hard to be touching, relevant and musically compelling all at once, but Arjona pulls it off."[17]
