Reviews
"Amor Prohibido" received widespread critical acclaim, although Elizabeth Rodriguez Kessler and Anne Perrin called the song "soap-operaish" in Chican@s in the Conversations (2007).[29] According to the South African magazine Drum, it was a "gently rocking song".[30] Billboard Latin-music editorial division head Leila Cobo called the song "catchy".[31] Marco Torres of the Houston Press wrote that "Amor Prohibido" was Selena's "most personal song",[22] and Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said it had "a bit more contemporary snap to it."[32] Mary Talbot of the New York Daily News called "Amor Prohibido" and "Como la Flor" (1992) "two straight-up Tejano hits" and a "requiem to Selena's career".[33] Writing for the San Antonio Express-News, Michael Clark complimented A.B. Quintanilla's use of "world-music flourishes" on the song.[34] Billboard's John Lannert called "Amor Prohibido" a "great smash" during its tenure atop the Hot Latin Songs chart,[35] and BuzzFeed contributor Brian Galindo called it an "awesome ode to star-crossed lovers everywhere."[36] Ashley Velez of Neon Tommy called the recording "a true testament to the forbidden love" and "proves that love conquers all."[24] Emmanuel Hapsis posted on the KQED-FM website that anyone visiting a karaoke bar would probably hear someone sing "Amor Prohibido" or Selena's posthumously released single, "Dreaming of You" (1995).[37]
The Daily Vault called "Amor Prohibido" a "seamless track".[38] Ed Morales wrote that the song is a "classic mass market hit that inhabits the memory, easily floating in the summer air of radios on the streets."[28] Don McLeese of the Austin American Statesman called it "compelling".[39] According to Billboard Latin music editor Ramiro Burr, the song "marked Selena's ascendancy".[40] Burr wrote for the San Antonio Express-News, "[Selena] balanced torchy ballads full of hurt and pain such as 'Amor Prohibido' with fun dance cumbias with a sense of humor";[41] "Songs such as 'Baila Esta Cumbia', 'La Carcacha', 'Como la Flor' and 'Amor Prohibido' had that instant appeal, that memorable melodic hook".[42] Burr further wrote that "Amor Prohibido" and Selena's 1994 single "No Me Queda Más" were "heartbreaking ballads".[43] Texas Monthly editor Joe Nick Patoski called "Amor Prohibido" the "perfect pop cumbia".[17] "Con Tanto Amor Medley", a 2002 single from Ones, which is a mashup of "Amor Prohibido", "Si Una Vez" and "Como la Flor", was released to favorable reviews.[44]

According to sales figures analyzed by Guadalupe San Miguel in 2002, "Amor Prohibido" is Selena's best-selling cumbia single.
María Herrera-Sobek wrote in her book, Chicano Folklore: A Handbook, that "Como la Flor" and "Amor Prohibido" achieved national and international success.[53] Billboard's Ramiro Burr called "Amor Prohibido" one of Selena's "fan favorites".[54] "Amor Prohibido" continues to receive extensive airplay in South Texas and at Tejano-music nightclubs.[55] Sally Jacobs of the Sun Sentinel asserted that "Amor Prohibido" remains popular in Spanish-speaking countries.[56]

Guerra described it as a "gentle pop-rock arrangement", possibly as it was originally intended.[94] Nilan Lovelace of Reporter Magazine called the duet version an "album favorite" and the type of music Selena would record today.[95]
