Mariano Prunes of
Allmusic gave the album four stars (out of five), naming the album "an astutely designed pop concoction by a savvy multi-instrumentalist-producer and an alluring chanteuse", praising their choice to replace alternative punk/edge with '80s synth pop, with "Hasta Contar a Mil", "El Beso" and "Piensa en Mí" mentioned as the highlights of the album. Prunes also referred to Jotdog as the Mexican answer to American band Garbage and also stated that Spanish band Mecano was the group "most obvious influence." He also said that the dance-oriented tracks such as "Baila Sin Parar" were emotionally flat and lame.[7]
Jotdog received a
Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocals,[4] which was awarded to Mexican band Camila.[8] The album received the same nomination at the Mexican Premios Oye! 2010.[9]
