Reception

Mike Wass from Idolator called "Día Especial" "one of Shakira’s best non-singles".[6] Telediario dubbed "Día Especial" and "No" as "two of the most remembered songs" of Fijación Oral, Vol. 1.[7]

Peter Murphy from Hot Press portrayed "The Day and the Time" as "perfectly polished but understated MOR with a Killers-cribbed synth break that might sound odd in your kitchen but a tonic on the radio".[8] Garry Mulholland from The Guardian praised the song stating that it's 'lovely'.[9] Spence D. from IGN described how Shakira is "flexing an almost pitch perfect ode", stating that the song is a "breath of fresh air" and "features some excellent ambiance rolling throughout", and pointing out Shakira's "chameleonic vocal nuances", and her "rich tenor punching the notes and lyrics with angst ridden ennui".[10] Matt Cibula from PopMatters reflected on how "there is something extremely avant about Shakira’s voice" "made up of equal parts Cher and Alanis and Nancy Sinatra" that gives the song "an edge that most pop singers can rarely achieve".[11] David Browne from Entertainment Weekly inscribed the song as "well-crafted but banal".[12]
