Armando spawned four singles: "Watagatapitusberry", "Maldito Alcohol", "Bon, Bon" and "Tu Cuerpo". The singles received airplay on Spanish radio and in Latin American countries. "Guantanamera (She's Hot)" would be reissued nearly fifteen years later on Trackhouse (Daytona 500 Edition) given a spike in popularity as a result of a TikTok trend.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1auX3p8pfw0 "Pitbull - Guantanamera (She’s Hot) - TikTok Compilation"] from YouTube (retrieved February 23, 2024) According to a review by Allmusic, the album is named after Pitbull's father (and also, his real name). Armando won the Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album of the Year.{{cite news|url=http://musica.univision.com/premio-lo-nuestro/backstage-pass/article/2012-02-16/ganadores-premio-lo-nuestro-2012|title=Ganadores de Premio Lo Nuestro 2012|work=Univision|publisher=Univision Communications|date=February 16, 2012|access-date=September 27, 2013}}
